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

Imagination is a conduit whose terminus met with effort is reality. We literally do shape our future with thoughts and words. Thanks for solving this equation.
