If Only

If only I could soar across the multifarious stars, Dream of love and romance, And maybe plant a seed on each and every-one. If only I could walk the boundless ocean, A breathless pull and richly pleased of its bestowment, And maybe savor each briny tear If only I could be beneath the lapis sky, Hear the cry of every newborn baby's first breath, And maybe I might share the love of each. If only I could embrace the world under fervent heaven, Grace it with a garden paradise brimming with life, And maybe spend hours abreast it's paternal growth. If only I could soar across the multifarious stars, Walk the boundless ocean, Be beneath the lapis sky, Embrace the world under fervent heaven, Or Sometimes just be myself 8/1/2020 If Only, Maybe, Sometimes Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One
