Let’s pretend!

Let’s pretend the we live in a world

Where everyone gets what they need

To survive

And to thrive.

Let’s pretend that we live in a world

Where love,

Where energy flows,

Fills the eddies in each of us

Swirls and delights

Tickles and teases

Until the currents continue on

To others.

Let’s pretend that we live in a world

Where work is play

And shoulds are wants

And inspiration clicks on

As easily as flicking a light switch.

Let’s pretend we live in a world

Of comfort

And ease

Where my gain

Is your gain

My win

Is your win, too.

Let’s pretend we live in a world

Where technology is indistinguishable 

From magic.

And magic is real.

In this world

Each of us is valued

And cherished

For the marvels that we are

And burdens are eased

Until they are no more.

Let us live in that world.

Let’s make the pretend

Real.

Let’s play in a world

Of wonder.
