~ Imagine ~

Imagine, for a moment,
that peace befell the land,
that all of humankind
reached out and held
each other's hand.

Imagine, for an instant,
the touch of skin to skin
proved so powerful
a feeling every nation
felt like kin.

Imagine, for a second,
love captured every soul
of each citizen on the
planet and the world
was truly whole.

Imagine, for a heartbeat,
that hatred could dissolve
and compassion rise up
gallantly with blazing
strong resolve.

Imagine, in your lifetime,
this chain of hope began
and the link at its
inception was your firm,
extended hand.

Imagine......
