Imagination Poem by Barry Middleton

imagination helps us wonder
imagination yields to fear

mystery in sounding thunder
doubt in yet another year

imagination always planning
imagination never sound

impossibilities enchanting
dreams so often let us down

yet another plot arises
another notion to explore

with intuition mind devises
all of wanting we implore

the curse is almost owning wisdom
as dreamer's wishes take the stand

we live within a brutal dictum
that destiny defies demand
