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 ...

So many wonderful lines in this! Great images come up!
Thank you, WBL... I'm encourage by your comment. Have you thought why I entitled it The Compass?
Because we can steer in any direction that our minds want to wander or are magnetically drawn?
I will reveal it later on when I get other comments. But your observation is indeed on point.
Thanks!!
the compass is pre set per individual and sets us on our proposed course in life to each he own lessens to be learned goals to be attained, in my view?
You!
Another superb piece - can't add to what's been said before.
Thank you Michael! I liked your studio, so tidy.
It will be a brave new world some day, when Man can look past his own selfish needs, when Man can look beyond to the infinite and the endless. When greed and power no longer drive this runaway train we call Earth, only then can we share ideas and solutions that will work for the good of all. A great piece of writing just got me all riled up. Thank you. - Phil A.
