WHAT IF?
WHAT IF?
What if you were the brightest star on the solstice night
Would you feel antagonism from the sparkling maze?
Or would Love dismiss uncertainty to the query you raise
What if you were the softest snowflake gentling drifting down
Hearing the soft gasp of exhilaration from Mother Earth
with all ephemeral scepticism gone
Would you be part of Love's united sound?
Hearts submerged in Love do still entreat
He loves me. He loves me not
What if you were the last petal left?
In a quandarous quagmire of uncertainty, you feel
Would you experience a sense of reprieve or a sense of defeat?
What if you were the most vital branch of an old Oak tree
Gentling cradling a nest ever so sweet
Would you also feel the Love of parenthood
from the first baby tweet?
What if you were a rock lost for words
With Love cleansing you of earthly weight
from a stream's soft gush?
Would you abandon attachments with a tasteful rush?
Feel in the sweet imprint of its absence, a comforting hush?
What if you were the gentlest breeze that whispered and sighed
Would you be a transient carrier of Love of a different kind?
As the year draws her curtains at midnight's call
What if you were that very last resolution you stall?
When Love has found emotion in your daily inspirations
The Rhyme to your Reason in Love's inspired aspirations
What if the year ahead is all you've got
Wouldn't you give it your very best shot?
What if I could convince you to a mindset change?
In a transitional challenge to rearrange
words from…
'What If'~ to, 'I Will'.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL
AND A WONDERFUL 2024 AND BEYOND
