Had I been God,
clouds would be lilac
and lilacs would be white.
Had I been God,
the grass would glow
as your homing guide.
Had I been God,
each breath you took
would enliven a sprite.
Had I been God,
the length of your braid
would mirror your mind.
Had I been God,
the skin you showed
would burn fingers of fiends.
Had I been God,
your voice would increase
with the efforts to quench its might.
Had I been God,
your might would be in your heart
instead of your hands.
Had I been God,
all colors will have homes
in your hueless sight.
Had I been God,
the world would be wielded
by the emerald wild.
Had I been God…
perhaps I was, perhaps I might.
…now that you’re here
