Imagine With Me

Imagine for a time with me
Look out across a huge prairie
As far as the eye can see
The winds blowing softly
Making waves like on a sea

Imagine for a time with me
How the indians lived you see
They lived in teepees
Out on this huge prairie

Imagine for a time with me
The summers so hot
Winters so cold
And never enough food to eat

Imagine for a time with me
The people many, old and young
No medicines to heal the sick
No doctors in their mist

Imagine for a time with me
With death brought life
And made them cry and sing
I really do wonder how
Through all hard times
They ever exist to be

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
