Imagine the Children

Imagine The Children

by

Steppenwolf

Imagine the children

having had stars for breakfast

exploding through doorways

discovering more ways

to skip down the street

their tempo complete

to the beat of the moon and the planets.

 

Imagine the children

who don’t play with toys

their summer joys

commence when sun glances off

connect when sun dances off

the rim of an old mayonnaise jar.

 

Imagine the children

knees rubbed by the earth

they have witnessed the birth

of the sun in the alley

now the deep river valley

filled with heaven’s tears

as the end nears

knows it must wait for tomorrow.

I liked the presentation of this verse...the flow and the way you bring back the nature of it all to the reader and back again...

i was one of these once. I can still imagine quite well. Seems like yesterday even though it has been 60 plus years.
