I Can Imagine

I can imagine a great many things
polka dot pandas with gigantic wings
a world without war, a day without death
even the moment I take my last breath

Fabulous planets of purple and pink
a moment of peace where I don't have to think
soaring through skies in fast flying cars
that take you way up to the most distant stars

Being a king in a castle so grand
high on a hill overlooking the land
stretching as far as the eye can see
yes, that is the sort of life for me

Vanquishing dragons, defying the odds
placing myself above the gods
limitless power and riches galore
and I can imagine so much more

Being a handsome prince on my horse
rescuing maidens from danger, of course
never to die or even grow old
at least, that's the ending I've always been told

Crystalline rivers with water so sweet
never an evil person to meet
orange and violet trees so high
the tops disappear into the sky

Yes I can envision so very much
magical singing flowers and such
just about anything my mind can see
but I cannot imagine you loving me

I smiled until the very end. That last line made me sad. Tugged at my heart. Nicely written!

Thank u! Yeah, I don't always go for the traditional happy ending. But I actually did have someone in mind when I wrote this. Thanks for stopping by! Happy New Year Valerie! :)

So beautiful and tender. The images you paint are truly breathtaking, and then- the end. My heart paused. This touched all of my emotions so deeply. ~ Brandy
