Imagination
Free your mind from everyday shackles
they will only hold you bound in chains
forget all the things you have been taught
like there are no fairies, no unicorns
Try to remember instead the wonders
of what you accepted as fact in childhood
let your imagination have full flight
see what is hidden from plain view by veils
Do not limit yourself or be afraid of scoffs
from those unblessed with freedom of thoughts
it is all to easy to give in and to believe
in what is so everyday and yet so utterly mundane
Think once more like a young child, set yourself free
imagination is a wonderful thing, a wondrous gift
aboriginals have it right with their dream time
red Indians know it too and believe in their visions
So let yourselves be free, dare to dream your dreams
make them part of your life, indeed part of your soul
lift the concealing curtains of your earthbound minds
run free and wild, we ourselves constrict both mind and life
