What Would It Mean ?

What would it mean if one could hear the flutter of a butterfly’s wings on a dreamy day ?

The whispers of warm winds into tranquil bays

What would it mean if one could paint the wealth of a generous heart ?

Or the thoughts of a beast struck with a poisoned dart

What would it mean if one could hear the screams of a tree chopped down ?

The strains and dissatisfactions of a polluted town

What would it mean if one could paint the passion of a dying saint ?

The tranquillity of peace ever so faint

What would it mean if one could see these things ?

Empathize with their instances as human beings

So broad the gate, so faint the canvas
