Imagination
As we grew up magic engulfed us
In its majesty and wonder
Unicorns, Dragons, and talking animals
All greeted us a its gates
This land, this kingdom
Is not very far
It lies beyond the gray brick wall
The bridge from reality to creativity
It is a place to let go
To let your mind fly freely in the wind
To let your mind dive deep beneath the blue waves
And to discover the unknown beyond reality
But beware of the monsters
That live in the world of reality
The ones who lurk in the dark alleys
The ones that snatch the mind of children
These creatures are named Adults
They are the result of living in reality too long
They have lost a crucial ability
The ability to create and imagine
But these creatures don’t scare the kids
Because their desire is stronger
Their desire to live in a world
Of imagination and creativity
While rejoicing in its unlimited glory
