If Only! Poem by Meena Iyer

If wishes were horses,
How magnificent they would be,
Unbroken in spirit,
Gliding through unbridled
Running wild with the wind
Deep into the night,
Whiter than the moon
Riding under the starlight
If only!

If dreams could fly,
Every time we sleep,
One would never want to wake up
And face the early morn
Trying to catch the shooting stars
Dancing with the starlight
While we rest, under cover
Warm besides the blazing fire
If only!
