RIP IF

How many times is IF spoken, if only, if I had a chance, what if.


Poem Artwork

If is powerful

akin to doubt

yet it will leave you alone

when opportunity shouts.

Loves to make

a Gordian Knot

by reminding you of

that which you have not,

gesticulating with sighs and bemoans

allowing you to think

your options

have flown.

Yet if will crumble

like wet sand when it dries

when opportunity beckons

captures your eyes,

then that knot

so neatly bound

will fly apart

when you say I can.

So consider if

it is only fair

yet never let it linger

cause despair,

always remember

doubt thrives eating dreams

so when its if's time

allow it to leave.

"If" has played a too big a part in my life. It's never too late to get rid of that pesty fellow.

It is interesting about our other single word. Your poem takes if to the task in a mighty way.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
