what if? in this darkness
I had this dream one night
that I died & what if?
I went to heaven
& what if
I saw my wife
& what if
I just held her in my hands
what if
I awoke opening my eyes?
to see a candle illuminate light
mollifying the dark
& there she lies
my wife’s heart
beating next to mine
& I smell the lavender in her hair
I feel the love within her
& I see her shy smile
like the innocence in a child
as I just hold her in my hands
what if
what if?
