Senses Wonder
I hear the same things
Every passing day-
The sound my feet make
Walking up stairs-
Laughter-
Sighs-
Sniffles;
But, what would
It sound like
If you walked the stairs
By my side?
If I heard you laugh,
Sigh lovingly,
Sniff to hold back a tear?
What if I heard your voice
Say my name?
I hear
Birds singing-
Distant whispers-
Winds blowing-
Knocking on doors,
But what if I heard
You sing my favorite love song?
Whispering in my ear
Or the wind blowing
Through your hair?
But, what if, one day,
You locked me out?
What if you didn't
Let me in?
I see sunsets-
Birds flying in freedom-
Young love-
Flowers in bloom-
But how great would it be
If we admired the sunsets
And found freedom together?
If you took my hand
And we enjoyed
The belittled things in life?
What if
You never let go?
I see
Lights-
Night time-
Shooting stars-
People walking,
But what if
You saw the
Light in me?
What if we
Watched the stars
And made a wish?
But, what if
I saw you walk away
Like all those other people?
What if
You never came back?
I feel
Gentle nightfall
Come upon me-
My feet wanting
To get up-
My mind dreaming
Of what to say,
But, what if,
Under the stars,
We danced?
What if we talked
About lovely springtime?
What if
We never woke up?
I feel
A soft chill-
A loving presence-
A yawn coming-
My hands held together,
But, what if,
You warmed me
With your heart?
What if
You didn't leave,
And we talked all night?
But, what if,
You never held me?
What if
You were never there?
