What If…?

What if we were nothing more than a dream,
Within the mind of a being greater than we?
Or what if we were just a thought,
In the mind of the creator of all you see?
What if all that we have ever known to be reality,
Was just the imagination of some Supreme Being?
What if our lives were nothing more than stage productions.
Designed to entertain the inhabitants of an alien world?
What if the earth stood still, for just one day?
Would time seem long? Longer than usual.

What if something went up, but never came down?
Wouldn’t that seem strange?
What if there was someone,
Who believed all of this to be true?
What if there was someone,
Who thought that red was blue?

What if gravity just ceased to exist,
And we all floated away?
What if the darkness was conquered,
And we had one eternal day?
What if the wind refused to blow,
And the stars refused to glow?
What if we didn’t really exist?

Then no one would worry about money all the fakeness it creates. That would be the day! Blood is actually blue until it hits oxygen then turns red...

You raise some interesting questions with nice wording and vivid imagery.A very unique approach to the idea of a higher power and a very well written poem.

WE get our ideas from day-dreaming. We day-dream when we're bored. Basically, being in a place where we can be creative about an idea that can come in a form of a place, person or image. The writer is concious that he's doing it. Kudos to a nice work !

Pow wow dear bard I had to reread again to figure out if I really exist and that this 'great write' is not the reality of my imagination. Sure glad I read this and now let me take leave and try to figure out those what ifs............

Thank you mamasan...i'm glad you like it..

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

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
