Imagination Or Reality

"Your brain can be schooled, Perhaps even fooled To believe what you imagine, So maybe even love can happen But that would require the heart, To get into the act at the start How do you get love, Is it a blessing from God above Can we imagine it to make it real, Can you hold it and see how it feels Does the heart control the brain, Or is it the brain that trains The heart in love, Maybe it’s a combination of the above They say you can’t love things, But I do love Beyoncé when she sings Maybe love is a person inside us, That makes that funny feeling in our gut How about when all the moments seem right, And your vision is blurred by a beautiful sight A sunset would count if you just exited a cave, Or you’d been freed after being enslaved Like happiness love is learned, For it requires trust to be earned Our imagination accentuates it, Until we are persuaded to submit Which is why God is so easy to love, And all that he offers from above. It requires imagination to believe, It’s called faith you see To sanctify the mind and the heart, So to love all that life imparts"
