Imagination

Imagination, to most eyes,

is invisible today.

The children share it with

one another, every day.

While adults try to deny

it and throw it away.

I’ve always heard that

one day I must mature.

But does that mean

imagination

must cease to appear?

Without imagination

the world

stays colorless.

Without imagination

our soul

stays heartless.

Without imagination

our children

stay careless.

So why deny what

could keep us young,

forever?
