White Wolf Poet Free verse

Imagination:

The imagination is an endless void,
A vast pool to bathe in,
Conjuring up images faster than light,
The imagination is a curious thing,
Imagine if you will the state of bliss!
But what need of imagery if we accomplished this?
Nay, man needs some sorrow in his heart,
Or is bliss a state of imagination gone wild?
Is not all imagination?
Every single reality, of every single person?
I imagine a world with few people in it,
All the rest are simply holograms,
What captures your imagination?
A crimson sky,
A long kiss good bye?
All is mind, and imagery fills the mind,
All of the time!
Well, I imagine so anyway...

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 24, 2016 at 8:59 PM Very good poem, you penned here, Rick. You even went a little existential. Asking some of life's essential questions. I like this introspective person. Great subject to tackle. You did w/a graceful pen. Love you, my friend. White Wolf October 24, 2016 at 10:07 PM Thanks RW! The imagination fascinates me on so many levels, the once science-fiction soon becomes reality. If we can imagine it we can do it so to speak /|\
