What if I could speak to the trees?
I might ask them how I may sprout vibrant green leaves
after the cold death of winter...
What if I could hear the whispers of water’s wisdom?
I could bring the power of its healing
to the driest souls that walk this Earth…
What if I could converse with the burning Sunshine?
I would ask to learn to warm all the hearts
so void and lost in perpetual darkness...
Is this not an ability I already have?

Thank you so much for putting these challenges together. It's always a great spark of inspiration to write a poem I wouldn't have otherwise. Loved this one. Hope you all enjoy as well! Aho
