Imagine

 

Two lonely seagulls float across empty sky,

desolate sky that ends where forever begins.

But the clouds to the west 

have taken on a sepia hue as yellow rays

pass through their thin vapor.

In Heaven,

there is an emotion more powerful than love,

a feeling that is so special, words cannot describe it.

But I can still taste the sweetness 

and the seasoned ripeness of the grapes 

that grow in the ancient vineyard.

Rows and rows of luscious grapes,

so many rows, my mind gets lost in the maze

of twisting vines.

I am not a closed thinker but an open mind,

my thoughts are free to do as they please,

possibilities are a way of life, don't you see?

Just open your third eye

and imagine.

Your poetry flows and leaps with positive energy. I am feeling really renewed as I read! Ty, for returning reviews so graciously. I hope that my darkness isn't too much. I have one a little more spiritual called SLEEP if you would like to read one of my better works.

[Tazeen Ahmed]

The flow goes on so beautifully....
There so much of imagination involved..
A great read :)

[Tabby Mac]

Very spiritual! I enjoyed this piece! I like how you described heaven to have a feeling that can not be described. Some how you mangaged to capture a deepness in this poem that's not so easily achieved. Well written!

The title of this grabbed my attention - one of my fav songs.
It's fitting that Heaven will have such Love as us beyond mortal comprehension otherwise going there would be just like moving apartments.
The first stanza is breathtaking Michael X

This is a beautifully done and thought provoking piece. It costs nothing to 'Imagine' and is so natural and you just never know the possibilities. Reminds me of "If you can dream it, you can do it." - Walt Disney

[Michael X]

lol thanks Pete. If you dream it, you can achieve it. No doubt!

[Daydreamer]

If imagination was a crime, I'd be guilty. But it's part of what makes us unique, the ability to see beyond the finite spaces of reality... You took me on the journey towards the ending where forever begins. Thank you...

[Michael X]

Hi friend, if imagination was a crime, the judge would sentence you to life in prison!! Because you are so GOOD with words, it is criminal, thank you for reading!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

imagination can take us on long journeys...we are safe within our minds, thinking, daydreaming, knowing we can go anywhere...

and often that can be translated to reality, if we believe hard enough.

Hi Jacob, thank you for the intuitive reading, you have have described this poem most accurately!
