If Only, If Only
if only, if only
the stars weren’t so lonely
with great space between
tell me, what does it mean
might we now in time
be closer than rhyme
inspired by Annie at What the Woman Wrote

and Louis Sachar in Holes
(Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1998)

I read this in a melody; this could easily be a song. 🙂

You know, I think of little notes above the words. Though I hadn’t made a conscious connection to song. Thank you!

Sounds light and yet has some deep sense to the words. I like it 🙂

I’m delighted you like it. I’d like to think, though simply expressed, there is some depth. Thanks!
