Imagine Your Moment...

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Many today argue that we hide beneath an imagined world of make-believe as a survival mechanism. Given today’s state of the world, one wonders if the answers will ever be realized before we annihilate ourselves… perhaps by ignorance? (Guernica painting by Picasso)

Imagine Your Moment…


Imagine Picasso's Guernica without a war
where shadows melt edges
and limbs of man and beast
bleed as one

Imagine fear wanting of battle
a mind-taint without weaponry
trembling made calm by love
where hate is rendered awash with sun's light
dissolving once acrid smoke of helplessness

Imagine too the teachings
that wrought the armor's crack justified
the dogma pronounced sacred
while quaking fjords beneath the surface
make palpable ignorance flow crimson

Imagine the precarious virtues undiscovered
a core of Man with but grass and soil
to comfort such foundation
dis-ease and moral thirst satiated by honesty’s purity

Imagine your moment…

when inspiration reveals the light.

From imagination comes creation. We will adjust to the new world, I believe. It's going to be strange. Cool write, Odin!!

Love ya!

And that's how we come up with better ways of doing things. There are times when I spend most of my day, daydreaming.

I have been imagining for years and hope to continue to imagine, as I suspect you also do, evidenced in this poem.
