what if

what if I told you I saw a lioness with fire eyes? what if I told you I witnessed the collapse of a marble empire? what if I told you I saw ashes floating from a soul burned by passion? what if I told you I saw an ice-cold Phoenix raising from snow? what if I told you I saw a canary so joyful its melody charming even the shyest of sun rays? what if I told you I saw a golden but poisonous rose? what if I told you I saw waterfalls coming down from blue and green galaxies? what if I told you I saw honey dripping from a dark heart? what if I told you I saw a diamond so rare that its brilliance scared even the lightning? would you believe me? would you think I'm lying or fantasising or even creating metaphors of imagination? but what if I told you to look in the mirror? what if you see what I once saw?
