Play

 


Play.

A word we look down on,

it’s just childish they say,

grow up, life is tough,

you need to get real

ignore all that stuff.

Magic doesn't exist they scream,

but I know

I’ve walked in dreams

when I’ve been wide awake

with my eyes open wide.

 

Imagination.

Just a figment of a childish way

or is it tapping into the very atoms

that we betray?

Is it wrong to feel the spray

of an ocean wave

and crave

the love it gives every day?

Is it wrong to hear

the song that is sung

when morning comes,

the song the universe

sings to some.

I know I’ve felt those chords

striking within me,

I’ve felt those notes

reverberate through my bones.

I’ve heard it sung from

the trees and the stones.

 

Grow up, get in line.

Follow blindly

as we give away

all of our time.

Take only the pathways prescribed,

don't explore those

corners of your mind,

a wasteland is all you will find.

Don't let your thoughts fly,

soaring clouds of hope sent to inspire

can only lead to a world surrounded by fire.

 

Well, I say,

I walk through

the tangled brambles,

I’ve danced with butterfly souls.

I explore to find 

the heart that soars,

the heart that is whole.

I love

Instead of always

wanting more, more, more.

I let my mind share with me

its magic, I dream and I see things

that can only ever exist 

if the universe is singing in tune.

So, I will play,

I will let my imagination

take me away, I'll stay in the dreams I have

whilst I’m wide awake,

and I'll live a life full of hope

because anything else feels like a lie.
