One Minute Ramble: Imagination


With a flash of light
A swirl of smoke
A click of heels
Or a sprinkling of shiny whatnots
The world around us changes
The sky is no longer blue, but what colour is it?

We use more than our eyes to see
More of our minds to take in where we are
And more of our senses to live

Can we fly?
We can fly!
We can race with and against the clouds
Ride upon a raindrop and slide down a rainbow
Slide down a rainbow… wow!
Chase unicorns; dragons; butterflies
Be chased by unicorns, dragons and butterflies
Feel the wind
Feel the rain
Feel the sunshine

Where are we now? Ah, we’re away again
On the open seas; in outer space; down on a farm; in a magical place
Up a mountain; inside a lake; being licked by a lion (who’s name is Jake)
Or we’re walking a wolf in the silvery moonlight
Or thinking that today is really tonight
We’re meeting friends we have never met
Or they’re meeting us – better yet!
We are in our own special land
Where no-one knows, yet all understand
Our mind is a great place where we can play
And where we go, well, who can say?
Our mind is the place where we can change our fate
We can never be too early, nor ever be too late
We are always welcome, never really lost
And everything is here without a cost!

I’m riding a polar bear on my way to Timbuktu
And you are… oh, hello there… where were you?

    Really enjoyed this journey Tom, you are becoming quite the poet.
    We talk about images created by poetry and this creates the best as it is talking about our imagination and where it can take us, we don’t all necessarily see the same thing but the journey is fantastic for us all.

      Thanks, Trevor, although I think I’m as far away from being a poet as you can possibly get… I’m glad you enjoyed my little ‘play with words’ 🙂

      Thanks, Pen… a fairground ride – yes! That’s a good way to describe the all over the place kind of feel I was going for! I’m pleased you liked my words! 🙂
