If We Only Embraced the Could Be's

If We Only Embraced The Could Be's There in a single splash of ocean swell could be great joy instead of blackest doom. If only dry desert hotter than hell could be a wet and spaciously cool room. The could be's that stirs a man's longing mind could be ripped from his eternal soul. What we once were, we shall one day soon find is a dead ball that no longer will roll. Lurking in magic thoughts lies such tales of bright stardust, golden castles and hope. Could be if we follow magical trails we'd lasso the moon if given the rope. If life were jumbo buckets of could be's man could preserve earth, trees and hopeful seas!
