Imagination I Poem By Vinoli
Imagination
When I was little, I stared at the sky
Saw birds and thought I would fly;
And reach high up and touch the moon
Or fly higher than the mountains at noon.
When I was little, I used to imagine
Myself using magic for a living;
Create a toy, tool or a lance
Or create a new world in an instant.
How childish those thoughts were, really
Imagining things that were too silly;
But now here I’m fourteen and still in my imagination
Thinking those silly things, in my creation.
Life is a whim, a fleeting moment of time that flies
You may not soar up high in the skies,
Or use magic, witchcraft or sorcery
Just imagine things, that’s all part of life’s great journey.
So, one thing I’ll like to confirm is this:
Imagine things—there’s no limit to it
For I have my fantasy world stacked up
And you may never know what your small mind can light up!
