If I was timeless like the ocean
What might I have seen?
Would my depths be bound by iron & blood?
Of wars long since gone, times long forgotten
Would I have seen the horrors of life?
The atrocities long since passed
Would I have seen the bravery of existence?
The love between two doomed souls
Would I have been moved by their tragedy?
The damnation of mortality, it’s beauty
If I was timeless like the desert
What might I conclude?
Would I view them all as holding value?
Those in possession of something beyond me
Would I see the damned cry, righteous hate?
The war of dark and light within
Would I still believe them good?
Good, evil, neither existing without the other
Would I love them despite all?
Their compassion, the very gift of life
If I was timeless
I would wish to be mortal
If I was mortal
I would wish
To stand unshaken amidst a fragile world
