"Imagination is more important than knowledge" Albert Einstein

Trying so hard to make my dreams come alive

When a fire below the surface Is trying to set me free

Standing on the edge, Is a long way down

As I walk away, I see light pushing darkness

And I say, I am meant to be Somebody

We need great vision to create. A lock-up mind can see the beauty of his world. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

What is trying to say

"Trying so hard to make my dreams come alive
When a fire below the surface Is trying to set me free"

When a person is trying to reach its dreams and the people around are not supportive a sif they support persons giving up,, and the best way is to keep quiet and it would be easier to achieve them by yourself.

I agree. It is sad when we stop our children from dreaming and hoping.

That is by far my favorite Einstein quote!! I had it on a poster above my bed in my college dorm room the entire time I was there.

Thank you Robby Tusitala, I included these words that could be interpreted as a spirit is near the edge contemplating suicide and decides to turn around and keep his body.

I like your deep backstories. This is a good quote to connect to that mental image.

Thank you Robby Tusitala for your valuable feedback, and for agreeing that those words could be connected to the poem, something like the person next to the cliff decided to walk away and built a machine with wings.

Let me catch the next flight to your portfolio and see if I could contribute in moving forward.

I am really starting to get your perspective. I like it and it is fascinating. The person on the cliff and the friendly but oblivious inventor who happens by...being so absent-minded he misses the emotional peril and instead concentrates on the physical problem at hand: How to solve the danger of standing on cliffs. He creates a wonderful flying machine, missing the suicidal intentions of the protagonist, who only is desirous to be dashed to bits on the rocks below. The protagonist is told by the inventor to wait, so the inventor can come back with their set of wings, but in the mind of the fraught main character of the piece, this is something more -a meaning in life. He could be useful in saving those in danger of falling from high places. The light pushing darkness, turning him around. He sees he has a purpose -and a brave one. He can justify putting his life at risk FOR a reason, instead of for nothing...
