What If

What if the moon played music composed of others' thoughts and wishes? Would you hum along and carry that tune all day after the moon fades and the sun rises?

What if you could see the wind and know that it carried the hopes and dreams of others? Would you allow it to flow through and around you? 

What if the sand beneath your feet held the remnants of each person's pain, and the ocean could wash away their sorrow, would you help carry it out to sea?

When you gaze up at the moon, will you let your heart sway with the wind and your soul swim in the ocean?
