June Imagination


JUNE Imagination

On a mid-day in June,

I lay upon the ground,

I looked up at the vast open sky,

The grass tickling my back below me,

And the clouds interrupting my thought patterns, above me

I tried using my imagination to make shapes in the clouds,

But they only looked like big, white blobs to me.

Maybe I am too old to have an imagination any more.

Maybe there is a bad guy that comes into your room,

One night, when you hit a certain age,

And while you are asleep, he takes your imagination from you

And makes you start thinking like a grown up.

Well, I don’t want to grow up; I want to stay young forever.

Why would someone be so cruel?

Your imagination is like a piece of your childhood that you keep locked up

In your heart forever.

If you get rid of that, what else do you have?
