Imagination

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Imagination To see pirate ships in billowing clouds, to hope for peace surrounded by war, to hear colors and to see a song, imagination expresses in multitude fashion. A child's-eye view, precocious and precious, yet imprecise, freedom of thought, freedom to think, emotions felt deeply yet thin-skinned, an adult's dream. Fly on mental wings, to battle in the clouds - a swashbuckling hero, physically perfect, assured and strong, or talk with beasts, cure disease and hunger, and play with friends. Without dreams we are without hope. Without hope we are without a future. Without a future we are doomed to a bleak life of desperation. 11-29-2001Trying something. May not feel complete, and some awkwardness. Please critique. Written November 29th, 2001 © on Nov 29 2001 09:15 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 10
