The things that I would do if I knew I Wouldn’t Fail:
The things that I would do
If I knew I wouldn not fail
There wouldn’t be a mountain in the world
That I wouldn’t scale
You wouldn’t see a picture I didn’ paint
You wouldn’t see a book I didn’t write
There wouldn’t be a life I hadn’t touched
No evil I didn’t fight
There woudln’t be a desert I didn’t cross
There wouldn’t be a sight I didn’t see
There would be no good I didn’t spread
No shackled one I didn’ set free
There wouldn’t be a flower I didn’t pick
No song I didn’t sing
No skill I never mastered
No grapes I wouldn’t wring
There would be no mind I didn’t probe
No heart I didn’t discover
No feeling I wouldn’t know
No wisdom I didn’t uncover
(For the more morose among you…)
The Secret of Being Blue:
The secret of being blue
Is really in the hue
For the color of the sky
Is the color of a cry
Somewhere in that feeling sad
Is resembalence to being glad
And if you chance upon an endless night
Just know it holds your blazing light
And if sometimes you shed a tear
You’ll notice then that things are clear
Sometimes if you feel alone
Suddenly you know of home
And if, yourself, you cannot grasp
You’re closer to the truth, alas…
