I Re-Imagine

A little tired

In contemplation

I swing from peace to restlessness

Doubt and uncertainty

cloud my thoughts

With mixed emotions

I walk by South Bank

Watching the lights 

London comes alive

as darkness engulfs

In a distant,

I hear strumming

a street musician

deep in his music

plays the guitar

my heart listens

in silence.

A few songs later

as I start to walk by

I hear a familiar tune

I stop in my tracks

Its 'Imagine'

he heard my heart's turmoil

He plays The Song

That has defined me

defined my journey

defined my dream

I re-remember

I re-Imagine

I re-build my faith

I re-Imagine

With peace my in heart

strength in my soul

I walk on. 

Imagine by John Lennon - The Lyrics

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say 
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You, you may say I'm a dreamer, 
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one.
