Kev's Musings and Shared Journal

If Only
____________________________


If you only look long enough,
you'll see spiralled shells in the desert
and laying on the mountaintops
among evergreen pine needles.

If you only hear long enough,
you'll hear Mozart's symphony
in the midst of industry
wafting through polluted air.

If you only feel long enough,
you'll feel you laugh when you should cry,
feel pain when you should be joyed,
feel none when you are most sensitive.

If you only taste long enough,
you'll taste watermellon in lieu
of the spiciest hot tamale
and think how your tongue buds grew.

If you only smell long enough,
you'll smell honeysuckle not rose,
and instead of rose you'll smell toes,
and instead of toes who knows?

And if you only live long enough,
you'll hear stop signs while driving
you'll smell water when diving
and be giving while conniving.

If Only.
