Tell Me If You Can
Have you ever figured out
how to catch a shooting star
or know the distance
it has traveled so far?
Have you ever tried to stop the sun
from shining so bright at noon
to let it shine softly like the early morn?
Have you ever commanded the mountains
to move from place to place,
or the hills to run around like horses in a race?
Can you ever tell the hawk to change its color
from black to white,
or the zebra to remove all its stripes?
Can you ever instruct your heart to stop beating for someone
when that someone is second to none?
Can you ever live and breathe for someone else
when you already found your one true soulmate?
If you are a wise man,
tell me if you can?
