Imagination

If only we could see how she saw the world
Just a glimpse would surly suffice
   If we could feel the butterflies as she twirled
Perhaps we could read her eyes

   Literacy faded as our souls grew tired
Like poison ivy, knowledge spread
   Time suffocated our spark of fire
Reality screamed off with our heads

   Wisdom turned us in to liars
So imagination wouldn't become extinct 
   Through our children's eyes, we see that fire
Resisting the urge to blink
