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.
