Imagination, that restless ghost
Will not stop haunting me,
Will not stop hunting me,
Or leave me in peace.
Its voice is insistent
Persistent
Consistent
Resistent
To my lethargy.
Like rain beating
On my window
Sometimes just tapping
Sometimes rapping
Sometimes loudly banging,
Never ceasing.
Why does it nag me so?
Does it really not know
There is no creation ex nihilo
Since the beginning?
What’s the point of having a muse
When you are not amused?
And wish to be left alone
Not in your thoughts
But thought less.
John said
‘Imagine there is no heaven’
That would indeed take a creative imagination
For one created out of God’s imagination
In God’s image.
Is imagination
The voice of God
Tasking us with being
Co-Creators
Not just re-creators?
Or is it just trace elements of the mind
Wandering
Wondering
Worrying
Wanting to escape the hardware
Called the brain?
I imagine so…
But then I always did have a vivid imagination.
What’s that whisper
That breath
That wind
That spirit
That still small voice uttering?
‘Be still, and know that I am God….’
Imagine that.
Know God, know peace
No God, no peace.
