" If..................."

If..............

If I were free,

like a bird in the sky,

could I fly with ease?

If I were a fish,

deep within the sea,

would I be free of all my worries?

If I were a lion,

stalking my prey,

would I fear none?

If I were a saint,

Up in the mountains,

Would I be free of all my sins?

If I were a devil,

Roaming idle minds,

Could I harm everyone?

If I were dead,

Hugged by the earth,

Is this the end?

If I were a man,

Born to live and to let live,

Would I be great?

But I am the soul,

The essence of life,

Does it matter,

If I am a dog, cat or a man?

I am the soul,

So see not my surface,

For I am within...
