Deb Wilson Poet Light Verse

The Minds' Eye

Thank heaven for my imagination
It's given me quite alot
Danced me through many a situation
Saved me from battles fought

Within my mind lies beauty and grace
Splendor in this world
No need to condemn or ever debase
My fist remains uncurled

Through the window of my eye
I find such wondrous things!
I smell the salty tide flow by
Skip along Saturns' rings

I've visited lots of exotic lands
Built toys with Santas' elves
Played in many rock and roll bands
Conversed with dolls on shelves

Through the imaginings of my mind
I'm driving a fancy car
Or maybe I'm being wined and dined
By a famous movie star

Imagination's an awesome thing
So much that you can do
Fly away on an angel wing
If only you've a mind to!

Carolyn Devonshire September 22, 2010 at 3:19 PM We didn't have a lot of material things when I was a kid, Deb, but my sister and I used our imaginations to the fullest. Now about that mvie star -- do you think you could send Brad Pitt my way, or should I just conjure up a clone in my own imagination? Enjoyed your upbeat poem! Love, Carolyn
