“WHAT WOULD YOU SEE”
by

If you were to become me, for one day,
may I ask you to look
through my eyes…

At the vibrant color of a rosebud,
as it opens in splendor
with the morning sun…

At the majesty of an enchanted forest,
as gentle trees sway
in the calmest breeze…

At the softness of an early morning mist,
caressing the meadow
lying in the valley…

At the peacefulness of a summer night,
as bright stars dance in the sky
in all of their harmony…

May I ask you just once again,
would you look,
through my eyes……,
as I…

I think I would see the beautiful things you just described here. They are lovely.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats
