Playing Pretend with Real Imaginary Friends

Envision your life however you wish

Though it was probably imprinted on you

By a little boy or girl with curiosity

Oh so very long ago

Pull from any story on the shelf

Be it with dragons and princesses

Jedi and sith

Elves and orcs

Atreides and Harkonnen

Angels and demons

Gods of all levels

Indian cosmology

Play pretend and take it seriously

As you have a very real imaginary friend

Or perhaps you have many

They are so very true in that they affect

Cannot be seen or heard or touched

But they are surely making their marks

If you respect the stories you are living

A story with challenges, doorways, and surprises

Then you may come to understand

The grand power of your imagination
