If...

If thou wert a chalice

I would sip from thee with care

Not for fear of loss

From artistry so fair

But rather so as not to waste

A single drop therein contained

.

If thou wert a sunrise

I would look on thee with glee

For in the moment of your rising

Every human eye would rest on thee

And the warmth of thine glowing

Into every heart would creep

.

If thou wert the ocean

I would sail with spirits high

And explore a world most wonderous

Beneath a pure and perfect sky

To seek out greater knowing

Of the mysteries far beyond what those on shore can see

.

If thou wert a treasure

I would admire from afar

For fear of greed in steeling

You away from what you are

A priceless gem of endless worth

And a shame to hide away

.

If thou wert a poem

I would in awe forever stand

Of the mind that crafted thee

From naught but cosmic sand

A radiant stanza

In the symphony of life
