    Of Believing

    Fragile,
    The silken thread
    that divides reality and fantasy.
    So fine ---
    And undistinguishable by the naked eye,
    That one simply assumes
    that it exists.
    But,
    Dimensions of the mind are many
    And parallel the reality of consciousness.
    Somewhere,
    Beyond this plane,
    In a place between slumber and awareness,
    Lies a shining land
    Filled with mystery and wonder
    adventure --- romance!

    Effortless,
    To witness a thousand miracles
    With only the twinkle of imagination...

    Tiny, winged fairies
    Hide in flower petals,
    Long haired beauties
    Borne on seahorses,
    The Munchkin of Oz,
    The adventure of Finn,
    The sword of Pan ---
    Dreamland, Toyland,
    Neverland...

    Frightful,
    The fall of mortar clad walls
    of adulthood,
    So this power reigns largely
    in the minds of children.
    Say, "Clap if you believe,"
    And the babes will raise the life
    of TInkerbell
    With their thunder
    And host the house of Goodness
    with their purity.

    Precious few beyond childhood
    Have chosen to remember the gateway
    to this land,
    And heir the key to this realm
    Backward along the generations
    of the future...!

    You just made the word "imagination" magical - 10 from me

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
