"What would I be..."

If I could
be anything,
what would I
be?

A flower,
a horse,
or a great
bumble bee?

A hovering cloud
with the
promise of rain...

to brighten the
prairie
with flowers
again...

If I could be
all that
my heart dares
to dream....

Would I be
a horse with a
long flowing mane?

A hummingbird
over a deep-throated
flower?

A tree that
grows leaves
that will turn by
the hour?

Would I be a drop
of water so
pure?

A butterfly
wriggling free
from her
byre?

Or would my
great wish
be what it's
always been....

to just be a
thought,
in a
still, silent
room.
