Imagine

My poem to John Lennon

I saw him standing there, the man who wasn't there
he introduced me to the world, to the reality that exists
told me to imagine, think unorthodox,
not be separate but different
to see, not to look, but observe
its easy if you try

then I saw it, I looked at it,
studied it, breathed it in till it filled my lungs
and exhaled the relief of freshness
I saw the serene sky, sheeny sun
gleaming grass, and felt the zephyr
brush in a soft smile on my face

I thought of a world that exists parallel
it's not that hard to do
no pride, no glory
no accidents, no war
no money, no power
no distaste, but love
