Musings

Could the words have come? Could I have made whole worlds, peopled with the good, the bad, and all the happy and all the sad? Could I have dared to eat a peach, and boldly painted outside the lines? What might I have made of my life if I had only tried to fly without wings? But life is always as it wills itself, forever as it should be, as it must be.
