Oh That It Were Possible Poem by Nero CaroZiv

Oh, that it were possible
After long grief and pain
You walk in the path of amiable
Innocence and repentance plain

You walk in the field with your barefoot exposed sole
It will touch in the wind the field scudding chaffs
The cut meadow wheat elongated spikes, will dagger your soul
And the wind will blow your skirt into halves

A throng of persistent rain drops from the sky caress
Your neck, your shoulders and the fresh hair locks of your head
And as you walk wet and soaked and careless
You shall see the vermillion canopy of the rising dawn's shade

And you stand breast high amid gilded wheat field
Clasped by the golden light of a bright morning yield
Like a sweet creature, like a beloved maid of the sun
In the open meadow you draw many glowing kisses, many as one

And you rush brushing ankle-high in a sea of flowers
And you hear the wind behind playing in thousands waves of golden clusters wheat
And you breath nostrils wide the field's soul so sweet
As the cows thick with milk and the buzzing bees honey your hour

Tranquility and calm will extend within thee, pure emotions newly bred
As a ray of dusk breaks through the edge of a dark cloud
And you will be free from scalp to sole of any lingering doubt
Like a bird in the sky, your soul will fly without fear or a dread

And you shall smell the fresh cut field's furrows
As your breath grows calm as a nun
And you will watch at dusk the waning sun
In the mirror of a rain puddle, wrapped in golden rows


And things turn so simple and apparent in life
Calm without a struggle or the din of a strife
And you can touch, and you can live under secure heaven above
And you can love! And you can love! And you can love!

Oh that it were possible
After long grief and pain
You walk in the path of freedom lane
Untouched by scourging fire along the way or by storms of evil

And you fall into innocence and repentance plain
And the divine spirit will canopy your life a whole
And you will be pure, shy and innocent again
Like a lawn; like a lea; like a newborn soul

Oh that it were possible after long grief and pain
You walk wandering towards your beauteous hours
When summer haze hangs over short simmering showers
To be welcomed by lush grass and sprouting flowers

And you wonder in peace while you pace along
As the fields and woods are full with whisper and song
And shall be without a slough, a crust of sin or any other touch of wrong
And you shall stay away from the basest of mankind; debark with a clear mind

And let them be who harm you all these years
For them you shade no vows; from them withhold your tears
Let them keep battering the gates of heaven with fruitless pray
'Have mercy Lord, Take my flaws away'

Oh that it were possible after long grief and pain
From this fearful thing you abstain
Of glancing back at the gloom of miss-spent years
When your heart sweated and wept with a thousand tears



And you shall forgive these wild wandering cries
Confusions of wasted years; a beam of hope breaks through
Portrayed in shapes and shades of feeling of yearning true
To illuminate your night of darkness and to cheer your aching eyes

Oh that it were possible after long grief and pain
You walk these pastures after a pausing rain
A pleasant gale urging breaks from behind
Rain drops aflutter with gentle wind

And bruit your song to the very creatures in the grass down
Will fall on your goddess like shape gown
And on the wilding brooch of your dress
From which gilded drops fall on your breast


Oh that it were possible after long grief and pain
You reseed your heart with new love grains
And you break forth from all past enslaving love
And you adore the freedom bestowed from heaven above

You bridge back over the river of your early youth years
To the first fountain of innocent love, smiles and beloved tears
And you would not trace again the stream of human lukewarm hours
Between outworn banks of life withered flowers

Nor shall you ever bid your time flow until it ripples and glides
Into number of meaningless, nameless love wavelets tides
