Imagine If You Want To

IMAGINE IF YOU WANT TO Was at a lovely concert last night, love was the message of the night. Love, peace of mind, of mankind are what the world desperately needs so far. Yes, what the world needs right now can be done, if you want to, somehow. If you want to, if we want to, if you want to. Open your mind, your heart and look into your soul and think or ponder, if you want to. You can see or be blind, if you want to. You can hear or be deaf, if you want to. You can feel or be numbed, if you want to. You can also smell and taste if you want to. You can see all the bias going on around you. Be it political, racial, social or religious at times is hurting everybody, somehow, sometimes. You can hear the results everywhere, any time. You feel something when you see, hear at times. Feel sadness, feel nothingness, hurt sometimes, or you can be blind, deaf and numb sometimes. How can we have peace, when everybody hurts? You can if you want to; dream, imagine to convert your mind to unity instead of hostility, divisiveness. You can if you want to; dream, imagine wholeness. You can have love and peace, if you want to. Show your love to people around you, if you want to Dream, imagine peace within yourself, if you want to. Imagine love and peace if you want to. I do want to. 1/3/22 Submitted A Strand (1045) Poetry Brian Strand 10/4/21 Written

Lovely write. Your love for music and dance is clearly evident. Don't think just make a plan, come to India. Very thought of meeting you is so exciting. Take care.

Thanks for visiting, Tom. Glad you enjoyed it. I love to dance and I love John Lennon and Mick Jagger. I saw the Rolling Stones two years ago. They will have a show here on 10/14 and 10/18; but did not get the tickets this time.
