Would you watch on,
or walk away,
If crystal balls existed?
Don't we all crave,
if only a little;
for the Midas touch?
What if shooting stars,
and magic wands
were for real?
Wouldn't we all,
given the choice,
Do just what we like?
Swap wisdom for wealth;
Trade beauty for health;
or extend our days on Earth!
If the curtain of tomorrow,
Could be pushed aside;
Would we pull our hands away?
To watch and to know it;
One's last view of the sun set;
Witness that final break of dawn.
If one could
Refine the future,
or blur the past,
Would you?
Would I?
