You spoke me into raindrops, daisies, and fear. You whispered the universe into my bloodstream, Marked my body with stardust. And when storm clouds could not pull the tides, but instead created waves of indecision, And an earthquake in my chest, You called a tsunami a shower when I couldn’t swim. When the world goes dark, As night turns to day, I remember that even the moon forgets its purpose, without the sun to light its way. You loved my flowers, But didn’t expect the weeds. As though the stars shine bright only for your whim and need. If only God was so kind. Branches with apples Falling further Than you could reach; You planted apples But Expected oranges. You plucked me from my own home and left only weeds. You loved roses but didn’t want the thorns. And when a tree falls but no one cares enough to listen, I remember that I am not a tree planted by your disposition and watered by your compliments. You cannot rush a bud to bloom and you cannot make a baby bird spread its wings. You cannot will the universe to do your bidding and I cannot force you to look into my eyes and see the galaxies. If only God was so kind.

If Only God Was So Kind
You spoke me into raindrops, daisies, and fear. You whispered the universe into my bloodstream, Marked my body with stardust. And when storm clouds could not pull the tides, but instead created waves of indecision, And an earthquake in my chest, You called a tsunami a shower when I couldn’t swim. When the world goes dark, As night turns to day, I remember that even the moon forgets its purpose, without the sun to light its way. You loved my flowers, But didn’t expect the weeds. As though the stars shine bright only for your whim and need. If only God was so kind. Branches with apples Falling further Than you could reach; You planted apples But Expected oranges. You plucked me from my own home and left only weeds. You loved roses but didn’t want the thorns. And when a tree falls but no one cares enough to listen, I remember that I am not a tree planted by your disposition and watered by your compliments. You cannot rush a bud to bloom and you cannot make a baby bird spread its wings. You cannot will the universe to do your bidding and I cannot force you to look into my eyes and see the galaxies. If only God was so kind.
