If I Were An Artist May 10, 2013

If I were an artist,

I’d paint your visage in the sky,

Carve your sculpture on the mountains,

So the world without doubt could behold

How beautiful you are,

 

If I were a mason,

I will build you a castle in my heart,

To carry you with me,

Wherever I go there, also shall you be,

 

If I were a musician,

I will compose a symphony with your name

For the wind to whisper in faraway lands,

Then teach the birds to sing it

As their lullaby to the world ev’ry night

 

If I were a poet,

I’ll make you immortal,

By composing a panegyric

For you so generations unborn,

Can learn of you,

 

If I were an astrologer,

I’ll make it a life goal to search

The heavens for the brightest star,

Then call the star your name,

 

If I were an explorer,

I’ll explore all the secret places of your heart,

Discover the unknown dimension to you,

Unearth the unfound treasures

Within you for the world to see,

 

But I’m just a humble me,

Who’s effort is for the world to know

How much it is you meant to me

For I can’t be me,

If not you to make me, me.
