If You Poem by Richard G Berg

If you are fast sleep
I shall not be awake

If you are the shape of dawn
I shall never face
The shape of dusk

If you are a mountain ledge
I shall conquer
Vertigo not to leave your side

If you are stern law
I shall be proud justice

If you are hope
I shall be sweet mercy

If you are piano's full keys
I shall scale my way
Up and down them
Night and day

And if you are the if
Of love
I shall be the of
