If Only

If skies could only hear my voice And if I ever had a choice To choose my own way of existence I would observe life from a distance, I`d change my fragile body for The shapeless wind outside my door, I`d trade my heart, give up my mind And leave my thoughts and cares behind, To breathe sweet freedom every day And see the world a different way. While flying through the deserts, oceans I would get rid of all emotions. No boring sadness, troubling fears, No life`s addictions, aging years. Just peace and calm would be my friends, A quiet dream that never ends. But in this life of glee and sorrow, The one I live today, tomorrow. I'll walk my journey till its end To feel, to wonder and pretend, That joyous moments are worth all The pain and struggle I recall. For in this world so odd and strange We all grow old, but never change.
