Imagining Words
The tower of Babel came from the imagination of man
To reach to the heavens was the height of his plan
But God intervened and confused all their words
And different languages thusly emerged
Imagine a song that you once heard
So soothing the melody so lovely the words
Words that will live on through the passage of time
With meaning and emotion sublime
Imagine a poem you're about to write
The words are not yet there
But will soon come to light
An image of letters in flight
If the world was devoid of words
Someone would soon imagine them
And then they'd come to be
Imagination is a most precious gem
Imagination has no limits, it is so deemed
Often catching us in our daydreams
Through the mind's eye we try to see
As we imagine things that are yet to be
