If the wind
could lift me up
If the spirits
could make me charmed
I'd circle the world
with saving grace
So no one
would be harmed.
If the sun
could melt my fears
If the stars
could make me shine
I'd radiate away
all disease
So the ailing
would be fine.
If the moon
could light my way
If the sea
could become land
I'd walk across
the world to-night
And place crystals
of ocean
in your hand.

These _are_ beautiful thoughts, and shared in the same way, and if your heart tells you what to write, then I'd say that it, is beautiful too. Thanks. *Peace.
