Only If There Is No If..... Poem by Eva Clara Harahap

Only if there is no if...
I will jump so high, up to the cliff..
I will stop wondering for every if...
And I will be living in such a relief...

Knowing any mirror will not have two faces...
Then it will not hunting me down to my ashes...
I will not worry where all the tears gone...
Anyone should believe that part...
If all the if has gone...
It will never tear anyone apart...

I never feel sorry for the if...
As it is only an innocent wish for a desperate leaf...
I know now why the tree ignore it...
And the branch celebrate it...
When the leaf of if never grow...
You will be welcome by a better tommorow...
Dismiss all the possible sorrow...

I would never wish to have any if...
Even if i can choose to have an if...
Like the laughing frog who keep on wishing...
For a non-stop raining heavily pouring...
And forget the beauty of the spring....

If there is a shadow...
Never wish for the sun...
If there is clouds...
Never wish for the bright sky...
As life is what it is...

No sun could give a false shade...
As there is a reason for everything...
If you wish for an if....
Ask the mirror to change its reflection...
For Life will never grant an error...

If you really want to...
Life will show its way...
Even without an if...
You can still fly way..

Only If there is no if...
You will seize the day...
Embrace everything that comes your way...
For all is there to help you anyway....
Just remember to never wish for an If...
As it only mislead you to find the way...
That could wave all your sorrow away...
