If I could peregrinate to the innocent alleys of yore

I’d chase the butterflies, riding on a unicorn

Satiating my core

If I could design my own li’l space to fill up my void

I’d create a timeless warehouse storing innocence

So that it’s never destroyed.

If I could reach the sunset marked skyline

I’d create a boundary of new beginning

Where hope and certitude would combine

If I could extend my arms to feel your embers

Lighting up the crestfallen night sky

I’d have successfully conflated my flinders

If I could find a tranquil place

Where trees cast long shadows that reach river banks

My wounds would have been salved in the verdant embrace.

If I could dare to dream a li’l further

With my open eyes

Our shadows could’ve spent a little more forever together.
