Imagine

Imagine, for a moment,
that peace befell the land
that all of humankind reached out
and held each other's hand.

Imagine, for an instant,
the touch of skin to skin
proved so powerful a feeling
every nation felt like kin.

Imagine, for a second,
love possessed the honest soul
of each citizen on the planet
and the world was truly whole.

Imagine, for a heartbeat,
how quickly hatred would dissolve
and compassion rise up gallantly
with blazing-strong resolve.

Imagine, in your lifetime,
this chain of hope began
and the link at its inception
was your firm, extended hand.

Well written song of hopes and dreams, surely attainable? Reminds me of a favorite quote: "If we could read the secret history of our enimies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow D.Faye Nail

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
