Unspoken Words

What if I had shared with you

The vision that I saw?

Would you have changed your mind

Could we bend the destined law?

Perhaps if pleading stronger

Before you closed the door

Departing from our lives

You’d turn back; walk through once more?

If I’d asked you four times

Instead of only three

“I have a dreaded feeling

Please, stay here with me.”?

Could I have pricked your heart

Waking truth; validity?

Hold at bay the tides

Set back the shore from sea?

If I shared the vision;

You sleeping as though dead

That morning as you slumbered

In the comfort of our bed

Could the words have power

Convincing you and Fate

When time, the hour beckoned you

To death; eternal wake?
