IMAGINE

Imagine
a time and a place where your spirit is free to be
without fear.
Imagine
a freedom to be exactly who you want to be
without judgment or criticism.
Imagine
an unconditional acceptance among those whose lives
intersect with yours.
Imagine
peace of mind that can only be found by completely releasing
all that hinders your serenity.
Imagine
a love so pure that nothing can stain or mar the innocence
that exists within.
Imagine
your fantasy becoming reality
in the face of worldly challenges that threaten to take away your hopes
and dreams.
Don't give them away.
Hold on until you know
you possess all that you need.
Who you are,
What you desire to be,
Is already a reality in your mind.
Just
Imagine


NOTE: Due to the multitude of questions about whether this is written in honor of John Lennon's song by the same title, though I am honored at the thought, I would like to clarify that mine is not meant to correlate with his song. John Lennon's IMAGINE is written about world peace and my poem is written about inner peace. NE
