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"
