I am trying to locate a newspaper article by Ray Bradbury that begins

Imagine you have been dead for a hundred years, no a thousand ...

I believe it may have been titled

An Epilouge for Christmas

It was in a syndicated column that was published in the 1980's

I read it when I was young and have been looking for it ever since.

If anyone knows where or how I can find it please let me know.

You are looking for a beautiful poem by Ray called, "Imagine". I personally find it one of his most inspiring and moving, truly celebrating his love and zest for life. I never saw it in a newspaper. However, I believe it was used by Ray for one of his annual Christmas cards. It was also published as a limited edition broadside, signed by both Ray and artist Joseph Mugnaini, and published by Herb Yellin's Lord John Press. The Press may still have copies available. You can contact Lord John Press at the address and phone number noted on its website. Just click on the link below:
