Array ( [sid] => 50080 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ~ IF ~ [time] => 2004-06-02 06:13:12 [hometext] => [bodytext] => If we had wings, and we could fly.
Would we soar above the clouds in the sky?.

If every tree were purple and pink,
would we look and stare?
Or except the colors they are?.

If every time a baby cried,
we wished to comfort and not to hide,
what kind of world would this be?.

If every tear were a sunshine beam,
how many colors would there be?.
If pink were blue and blue were pink,
would it make a difference what we think?.

If the sun were called the moon,
and the moon were called the sun.
Would we not stare at the moon with a
whimsical magic, in are heart?
Would we not turn to it on a clear night,
to seek are, answers?.

If the sun were called the moon,
would we blind are self's by staring,
into it's burning, inferno?.
If we stare at the stars, and know that
there gigantic inferno's of gas.

Does it lesson the beauty
in the midnight sky?
We watch almost like omens?.
Does the knowledge shadow its
majestic splendor and glory?.

Does the knowledge that a rose has
thorns that draws blood,
make it any less pleasant to look at or hold?.
Even while knowing, a prick could hurt?.

Does the knowledge of all the God
sent masterpieces in the land,
and sky make any beauty drain
from knowing, how they work?.
From knowing there secrets?.

Does knowing the landscape
and how long it's been there, stop
your breath from catching?,
when you stare at the mountains?.

I hope not. For to miss the beauty of Gods creations,
is to miss his face staring back at you.
To take for granted, all the things he gives you.
And that's a crime I would dread committing.

If trees were purple and also pink
I guess then I'd really have to blink.
I'd cry and pound upon my chest..
God's color green, was always best.
It so relaxes the human eye
the pink makes it want to cry.
Oh! says me to purple and pink trees.
please make them geen won't you please???

A+ on your poem though...it was inspiring..LOL
