If Only Poem by James Sebastiani

If only

A summers day, beneath an oak tree,
It's broad leaves offer shelter, for you and me,
From the noon day sun, the sweltering heat,
A place where my love and i come to meet,

Before us are spread, fields of golden corn,
Farmhands wilting, exhausted and forlorn,
Toiling hard until the end of the day,
But still beneath the oak tree we lay,

Dusk is upon us, and all has gone calm,
The workers retired, returned to their farms,
Now the Sun sinks below the horizon,
Gives way to a spectacle equally mesmerizing,

The celestial display, that's been waiting all day,
For the opportunity to shine, our milky way,
Shooting stars, on a never ending journey,
Distant stars, that make us wonder, are we?

Alone in this vast expanding universe,
Or are we just part of something more diverse,
Just one of many species looking up to the sky,
Wondering if it's just you and i,

Sitting on this rock, floating through space,
Beneath this oak tree, in a loving embrace,
I've been here so long, the sun begins to appear,
The dawn of a new day....but something's not quite clear,

I'm sitting beneath the great oak tree, the sun is beaming,
But all the time, i've just been dreaming,
I have no love, i'm all alone, just me,
I've been in a land i wish that could be,
