Akkina Downing Poet Imagism

Imagining

Her mind is afar somewhere 
       ...imagining
She's flying with her dragon 
He's flying her away to a magical place 
Where rainbows never fades and flowers
 are forever blooming 
They dance and laugh 
Twirling in sugar land 
But never eye to eye 
She's afraid to look into his eyes 
Because his eyes have fire burning 

        ...and 
She's not ready to burn just yet...

She needs to be able to keep coming back
She's treasuring every moment spend
It's where she finds joy and peace 
Until she's gravitating back to her shell
and all is back to grey

Only her mind keeps her busy
       ...imagining!

     
     Smile

Tim Smith August 17, 2017 at 9:52 AM The wonderment is something special to behold. If we rush into the fire we can get burnt and lose the magic that attracted us in the first place.
