Daniel Turner Poet Rhyme

Imagination Is Fun

Let's all take a trip to the moon
Go star hopping while whistling a tune
Travel through time, forward or reverse
Visit new worlds in another universe
Then return in the blink of an eye

Imagine a sub going deep in the ocean
An underwater world where everything is slow motion
Gaze at the mountains that once breathed fresh air
Valleys covered with flowers and life everywhere
Now frozen in time a living tomb of the past
Inhabited by strange creatures, a sci-fi movie cast
Sunken ships of adventurers, reminders of wars
Lost treasures, such beauty and fathoms more
We're surfacing, please blink your eyes

Let's walk the tight wire of love to the heart
One side is bright, the other is dark
A major attraction on the virtual tour
We could stay here for days and talk, I'm sure
The heart is the jukebox, if you will
Songs it plays depends  how you feel
Happy songs, sad songs, even songs of violence
Occasionally we unplug it and sit in silence
Time to go, just blink your eyes

Now look into the abyss of despair
We rarely like to go there
Where time is consumed by the jackals of depression
And hopelessness thrives on dangerous obsessions
Hurry along, just blink your eyes

Take a break, relax, we're nearing the end
Last stop, are you ready shall we begin
Back to reality, right here, right now
Just close your eyes and look around
The incomparable brain of the human being
It all starts here, what you're feeling or seeing
One can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone, be anything
or go everywhere, do everything, be everyone, or everything
The vastness of the mind has no ceiling or floor
Set it free, let it wander, to worlds unexplored

Lin Lane February 7, 2016 at 4:03 PM I'd like a ticket on your ride, Daniel, but there are a couple of stops where I'll just stay onboard. Great write! Lin Lane February 7, 2016 at 4:12 PM No old age talk, Daniel. If we're using our imagination, age does not matter. ;) Daniel Turner February 7, 2016 at 4:08 PM Thank you, Lin. No ticket required. You may get off or stay on at your pleasure, The imagination is a special place where old folks like myself never have to feel their age.
