Only If

What if the sky fell down in great big chunks of blue?
Collapsing under the weight of the stars
The moon dropping
Down
   Down
       Down

No where to run
No street is safe
No shelter could hold

broken blue peaks reveal
    eternal gray and black that waited all along

What if the ocean dried and its salt polluted the masses?
The fish swimming in circles
    the last of the their home shrinking
    waiting to drown in the air

No food to eat
Noo escaping the salt
The dry waves of sand frenzy and hurl,
    wishing and missing their old friend water
It has long since past

The wise wouldn't know
The old couldn't help
The smart couldn't think
The strong know only to fight

What if the lost was finally found?

Rejoycing in the streets as it came repossessed
Unification and celebration
Only if...

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
