I Can Imagine

poem by: Michael Wise
Written on Nov 16, 2017

I can imagine a great many things
 polka dot pandas with gigantic wings
 a world without war, a day without death
 even the moment I take my last breath

 Fabulous worlds of purple and pink
 a moment of peace where I don't have to think
 soaring through skies in fast flying cars
 that take you way up to the most distant stars

 Being a king in a castle so grand
 high on a hill overlooking the land
 stretching as far as the eye can see
 yes, that is the sort of life for me

 Vanquishing dragons, defying the odds
 placing myself above the gods
 limitless power and riches galore
 and I can imagine so much more

 Being a handsome prince on my horse
 rescuing maidens from danger, of course
 never to die or even grow old
 at least, that's the ending I've always been told

 Crystalline rivers with water so sweet
 never an evil person to meet
 orange and violet trees so high
 the tops disappear into the sky

 Yes I can envision so very much
 magical singing flowers and such
 just about anything my mind can see
 but I cannot imagine you loving me
