It is...

and we are but TV

cathode rays

or LEDs

momentarily breathing

vacuums tubes,

semi-conducting

a Thing we tap into

that is not us...

Imagination is,

and we are projecting

It

from Its live set studio.

Very Real

Everything you can imagine... is real.

Everything you can possibly perceive,

Can be real.

Let's draw back for a moment.

Away from the escape.

Think for a moment,

Think long and clear.

When you know something to be true,

You can only form a hypothesis and deduce.

When you know something to be possible,

You might spread out your probe to find all edges.

Wrinkle the paper of your map here,

Fold and crease edges, until you can grasp

The way that life has a way of making real all its unrealized potentials.

Horrors.

Beauties.

All in the wake of your mind.

For what the mind perceives, it can make very real.

For monsters live in more than dreams,

but just cannot shed their human skins.

For people who smile prettily,

There might be no soul within.

Take a moment,

And understand the fear.

That the personification of fictitious beasts,

only makes you believe them to be less real.

A vision of the future

If everything that I can imagine is real

I shall think happy thoughts

Of peaceful valleys and vibrant nature

Of children playing and soft music

I shall dream of abundant harvests

And cosy hearths

A place where all have somewhere safe

To rest their weary head

Where soft hands rest on those who suffer

Where kind words and gentle tones abound

A world where the stitches of community

Are treasures beyond measure

A world with nature at it's centre

In all it's varied seasons

Where creativity can flourish

And healing is part of the lifelong journey

Where families and friends

Support and comfort each other

And each unique soul is embraced

With understanding and acceptance

Endeavour

Can I will it into being

Can I force reality to comply

Can I make the world obey me

Can I do anything but try
