Victoria Skelton's "Imagine" is a daydream about what it would feel like to fly. The speaker pictures herself as a bird or an angel, drifting through clouds, feeling the wind in her long hair and the sun on her back. The images are simple and physical, so the reader can almost feel the freedom she describes.
The mood is joyful and playful, with a touch of daring. She wants to climb as high as she can, plunge straight down, and then spread her wings at the last moment, a small thrill of risk that makes the fantasy feel alive. Later the tone softens into wonder as she flies at night, listening to the planets sing and the earth breathe. The final line, "So fly!", turns the daydream into a command, as if the speaker is urging herself, and the reader, to let go and imagine freely. Flying here stands for freedom, lightness, and a closeness to the world.
