What if I wrote the
truth
wrote it all down upon
the page
held my heart for you
to see
let you read its tears
and joys
would you bring me
one feather?
what if my soul was a
china cup
already chipped through
the ages
yet still a treasure
with all its cracks
filled in my dreams
with gold
could you believe in
my flight?
I saw you
walk on water
perform miracles
rise from the dead
just an ordinary man
they said was my father
just an ordinary father
they said lived elsewhere
this is another poem
what if I didn't delete
a word
and put all my mistakes
out to dry
but these edits are too
tempting
as we redraft our lives
and love is a miracle
in an ordinary world
