If There Was No Poetry
If there was no poetry. . .
the flowers all would wither and lose their pretty hues.
No songs would we hear playing -neither happy lyrics nor the blues.
If there was no poetry. .
the birds would stop their singing.
We would not see even one bird winging.
If there was no poetry. . .
the sun and moon we could not tell apart.
Emotions could no longer swell in anybody’s heart.
If there was no poetry. . .
the rivers, seas and oceans would run dry.
No horizon would there be to touch the sky.
If there was no poetry. . .
I think that we
would cease to be.
