Conquerors Of The Skies

In this land of if only, I'd only have myself to reckon with 
no real or imaginary people to fight with or have a tiff 
In a world of seize and conquer I would feel no loss 
I'd ride the ocean winds like an ancient Albatross 

In a world of make believe I'd be Queen of fairies 
grinding my worries away , I'd then pick berries 
in a forest full of bears, tigers and wolves, I'd be  
a minx with great stealth, I'd never want to flee 

In a planet where stars moon and sun can be touched 
I would make plans for a future that can't be botched 
In a society that badges truth, compassion, empathy 
I'd be happy as a lark in the sky, songful and free 

In this land of if only, I'd be a wish that never dies , 
joining forces with all the conquerors of the skies.

Hail queen of the roses. you'd make a wonderful person, but save some berries for me. Seems with my diabetes, it's the only thing I should eat. Hugs.

Dear Rose, this is such a joy to read and it’s a great title too. The imagery is so lovely,’ ride the ocean winds’’ queen of fairies with bears, tigers, wolves and a planet with stars, moon and sun’ You can easily picture the scenes, the world, where it would be so lovely and peaceful to live … if only. I love your thoughtful, poetic words here. The ending couplet is dreamy indeed. If only, dear Rose. So enjoyed reading this delightful, so well written poem. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, smiles x
