If a word could make a flower bloom and tears fall from heaven
would the bees flourish in the nectar of my wordless garden?
If love could console a coward’s mind
would the hearts of the blind break them in kind?
If a child could see the skylight born with dreams of the future
would their parents fear the imagination of their preachers?
If a choice belonged to a man floating on the sea
how would anyone know that they were still free?
If time were a purpose we must all devote our attention to
what happened to more than one of you?
Have you been paying attention as the colors in the sky fade from
blue to grey to midnight; sirens are calling us to the river of light.
thank you for reading. I’m trying to write more uplifting / transcendental poems and notice that more people like them. And even though a lot of people like my darker writings I’m always evolving.
