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.
