Reclaiming The Imagination Poem by Jacob Coleman

Reclaiming The Imagination



I have betrayed God’s imagination
And now my imagination betrays
Me. If I knew why Hell and Destruction
Are never full, why my fantasy strays
Here, There, Everywhere-crashes (with cruel speed)
Against gates of virgin glory! spirals
Downward, like a helicopter in need
Of gasoline-Well, these earthly trials
Might assume an air of reality!
This is Enemy Territory, kids
Where demons dance and mock divinity
While caged prostitutes stare with caged eyelids…
Death’s other dream kingdom-Deliver us,
Jesus, and shine Your Light in our darkness.
