What if all I wanted was
To swing among the clouds
And free fall through a dream
Land in a sea of glimmering stars
And sink into the depths of inspiration

I did what I wanted and
The swing ropes snapped in the clouds
And I free fell though a wish not a dream
Found an ocean of wonder not starry sea
And lived, diving in currents of imagination

What ifs are speculation
And sometimes it takes derailment
To push us into living our lives
