Imagination!

What wondrous things Imagination brings, If we have but the gumption to look; Glorious kings or poisonous rings, Pulled straight out of a book; Horses that fly or foxes that spy, Things that go bump in the night; Learn to defy those things they deny, Because suppression just isn’t right; Feel with your nose or smell with your toes, Our minds can conquer it all; Dream of a rose that grows and grows, Or perhaps that stays very small; There is no end, neither foe or friend, And it’s all trapped inside our brains; Just because it’s penned doesn’t mean it’s pretend, Nor does it mean your insane; Dreams get trapped and then they adapt, Until they become a creation, Like a continent mapped or present unwrapped, When we use our Imagination!

Smile ~ I love this flowing and creatively splendid rhyme dear lady ~ It reveals such a soft tender and beautiful heart it seems and yes, the mind is an endless well of possibilities towards imaginations speaking into existence those things which were not, as though they were and, sometimes, they produce realities of concretes tangibles born ~ "Beautiful Tirzah" ~ "Love Always," John!:) ~
