Ima

If I should call you now, would you stop what you are doing and come? If I should call you now, would you board the plane and come? You want to have a conversation with me but we are thousands of miles across the sea, it would perhaps take a day or four hours to get here or maybe a week if you are not prepared.   

You have been avoiding this meeting for almost ten years; what on earth do you fear? Work up some courage and come, face the truth and unravel the mystery of your youth.

Ima is now and you cannot wait until the sun goes down, there might not be another moment like this, so don’t procrastinate, make up your mind before it’s too late. This is the only moment you have to cross your heart before the big bang theory starts; this is the only moment you have to clench before you get on the ship.

Ima is now and there is no other moment but now, feel the urgency in your feet and if you cannot walk just crawl on your knees. The Pandora box is open wide with an age-old secret that can blow up the sky. The velvet is draped over the box so dress in suits and frocks. I will meet you at the gate.

If I call you, would you come? Or would you walk away and loose the chance and tear the universe away? We must have a conversation now, so get dress and come, there is no one guarding the gate and my finger is on the button and the world is woven with fine silk thread and cotton, and if I press this button I will lose nothing. Everything will go with me and if I press it there will be dead silence across the sea.

Ima is now so stop what you are doing and come, confronts the “demon” inside of you, make a wish and your dreams will come true.
                                                                   Ima is now!

I hate to be ignorant but what is Ima. I can find no definitive meaning.
