Renew

If I could be but one thing

I wouldn’t be the fire but cold

Enough to make everyone desire

The comforting love and its warmth

 

If I could be but one thing

I wouldn’t be a word but mere letters

Seemingly meaningless and absurd

But free and unfettered

 

If I could be but one thing

I wouldn’t be the sky but the earth

Nurturing and unshy

To acquaint everyone with their worth

 

Finally, If could be

I wouldn’t be anyone else

It’s a beautiful life that I’ve neglected

And I would re- introduce to myself.
