self preservation of imagination

❤💜❤

My imagination

is too great

I have lived there

only to survive


but if one day my dream world

were to become reality

where would I live?

Would I finally open my eyes?

Would I only know how to hide?

Will I let down my guard and believe it;

or will I pine for yet something else?


One beautiful day,

my God will help me

in his wisdom, and his power

in his love, and mercy;

He will help all of me

to live presently


When I no longer live

to protect the little girl


Perhaps, if at the time

of great fear;

I had not made my imagination

a part of who I was,

it would have split me

in a thousand different degrees

and I would not know

which is me.


I open my arms

to the children

who cope

while living 

with fear,

and whose incredible

little bodies

protect them

to preserve

the little soul inside.


Bless be the Creator,

for he has made it so!
