Lifetimes

How many Lifetimes
will it take Me
to learn that

I have allowed
that Trickster
that goes
by the name
“Imaginary”
to usurp
the power
of its quieter
sibling,

Imagination.

All That Is
Real
owes its existence to
Imagination,
yet,

Imaginary
cavorts around
pretending to
the throne by
pretending to
the imaginary power of
what’s Unreal.

What has this
dismissive
nonchalance
of the upstart
bully, Imaginary,
cost You
My Friend?

What Reality
have You missed
because
Imaginary dismissed it
as a figment?

I really don’t care
how many Lifetimes
it takes.

I intend
to learn
to Create Reality
with My
Imagination.
