What If

A Tender Imagining of Love, Unburdened.

What If…

Regret crashed upon the ice
and slipped into a coma

Shame slammed into a rocky cavern,
shattered and broken

Guilt rode in circles
until drifting away on an ice floe

And you and me—
lived out this fairy tale

With flowers in my hair
and sunshine seeping into every pore

Wandering across plains of grass
wrapped in triumph

Without fear and loneliness
raging at the door

Allowing breathless, expectant
moments of time

To carry us
lightly, gently
like whispers on the wind

toward an eternal embrace
Where we have always belonged—

without the ache of knowing
this love must end.
