Imagine

Armed with pens and pencils

Crayons and markers

Watercolors, oil pastels, acrylics

Charcoal and tempera

I set out on my journey

Into a different world

A world where the sky is brilliant shades of blue

Indigo

Cobalt

Cerulean

All meshing together in a seamless patchwork

A world where flying horses stampede past

On wings of flame

Under a sizzling sun of cornflower yellow

With the grass like forest green carpet

Beneath my feet

A world where logic is overruled by color

And reason lay pure possibility

Apples the size of soccer balls

Hang from giant trees with leaves of polka-dotted pink

Bubbling rivers in a shade of gold

Abound with leaping purple goldfish

A world where time has no jurisdiction

And limitations make no difference

A world where I can set my imagination free

To run wild

On silver breaths of wind

I pick up my pencil

And begin to draw
