I'm Reading The Stairway To Imagination

 

Slowly I ascend,

Relishing every step

And the change of view

From the last…

Looking back now and then

To see how far I have come,

Contemplating the differences

Of where I’ve been

And where I am,

Realizing just how far

My creativity can see.

 

Every sentence

Expanding my view

As I go from

A peephole

To a panoramic view

Of what the world can become

Using the magic that is inspiration.

 

Now as word architects

Of the past have done for me

I want to do for those

Building a staircase

To a room with a limitless view.

 

Slowly I ascend

The stairway of imagination

Cause you can’t rush…

Excellent poetry Cowboy!
Imagination is a powerful tool, and the view from the top will show us everything that lies in waiting for us to see, touch and feel. Love this.

Thank you so much Ana… the imagination can open door to the mind you never knew existed.

Yes, I'm so happy I still have it! Even though I'm a 'grown up' now. :)

Very well said. Life is a staircase. You can't rush it. As you go up you see more and more, letting one view build into the next...

Thank you Marie.

I like this. It has in its simple message a depth of truth.
At the risk of stepping on your individuality, I might try to structure it as steps. Just a thought:)

"and she's buying a stairway...to imagination"

poetry has endless rooms, some have no windows, but some as in the rooms of your poetry...limitless view---
you have such variety of theme...and such a giving nature---we need more like you, Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you Jacob, I can say the same for you.

[Rita L. Sev]

word architects... Love this idea! So true, the written word builds new worlds, and we are privileged to add our own structures... A great tribute to reading and writing, Dale!

I saw a shirt that said "I am not a bookworm, I'm an escape artist" The written word can be therapeutic, entertaining or a needed break from reality.
