If Only

30.09.2024 | Radha Kesavaram

If only I could show you; after Winter 
Spring awaits to show you it’s glory 
What now feels cold and barren  
Will soon give way to celebration  
Of color and fragrance and butterflies and moths… 
If only I could show you; after Summer 
The scorching heat of toil and effort 
Will soon bear fruit so sweet and grand 
And you shall rejoice with friends who have come to stay… 
If only I could show you; after Autumn 
Leaves of traces of bygone battles will soon be swept away 
By mighty winds soon proclaiming tales of your victories 
To passersby; inspiring them by your spark so generous… 
If only I could show you; a mirror to your face 
Tarnished now by tears and sweat and blood 
That soon these eyes are going to brim over  
With tears of gratitude and joy and triumph… 
If only I could show you; the promise of tomorrow 
That we await with bated breath today.
