Butterfly Effect (If Only...)
If given the chance
Would willows weep away weathered wisdom;
stripping naked bearings of time's wound
Would bushes of berries itch for faded blossoms;
the buttons of sweetness spoiled by the melancholy of roots
Would monarchs shed away their burden of flight;
yearning for lonesome trails of honey nostalgia
Would furry beasts lose the fangs, the claws, the thirst;
again the suckling youth of bountiful bosoms
Would the hunter fall prey to his hunted;
gone with the traps, the rifles;
a stalk of daffodils in hand seeking mama's blueberry sundress
Would island jungles spill forth sunken stories washed ashore;
praying in dawn's glow for the sanctuary across the lonesome
chasm of gloomy blue
If only, given the chance
