The Imagining
“When we die, will God have a TV set with tapes that have recorded our lives?
We could watch ourselves being born,
Watch ourselves
Take our first steps.
Learn the A-B-C’s.
Slide the pencil across the paper;
The paintbrush across the canvas.
The memorable moments – the laughs, the awed looks.
Then moments of desparation – teardrops running down cheeks.
How we changed the world.
The lessons replayed, retaught,
And if we don’t understand now,
Will we understand then?
The mystery of after-life, could it be this?
Will we ever tire of watching each chapter of our life unfold?”
And so, we imagine,
Because, really,
Imagining is everything.
