What If...? ~ what if you could really fly soaring in the clear blue sky sun on your back and wind in your wings what if you were a hawk in flight? what if you had thick strong roots twisting arms that feed and shelter designed to stand the test of time what if you were a wise old tree? what if your body was life itself love and wondrous magic deep in every fiber slowly turning watching all your children grow what if you were mother earth? what if you could only look upon this world the silent observer saying nothing watching all your kith and kin take and turn their back on you as if it didn't matter as if you weren't alive as if a bird, a piece of wood, a bit of dirt like elders to a hothead child were only in the way. -Glow 2002
