The Compass

Imagination ...

To embrace the entire world

The limitless realms of thought

And the endless universe to unfurl

 

To go beyond the known space

to the universe full of surprises

Where sky and infinitude interlace

 

To venture and discover new places,

new beings, new friends, new things,

fresh & dangerous, my heart embraces

 

To live in gratitude and in wondrous awe,

Innocence relooked, not silly platitudes,

Not shallow, not sweet, beyond universal law

 

Like children’s dreams taking chances,

exploring & ranging the environment

being in a constant hunger for wonders

 

The world is not safe, but is good,

dangerous & frightening, attractive, marvelous,

kind & perilous waiting to be explored ...
