if I had a date with God,
I wonder what I’d say,
wonder if I’d ask him why
things don’t go my way.
wonder if he would laugh,
tell me I already know,
the answers which I seek,
on where I need to go.
tell me to hear my heart,
and trust that it is right,
that it when in darkness,
it can always find a light.
if I ask him for wishes,
would he grant me one,
if I ask him for victory,
would he make me run?
would I see the future,
where I would be soon,
would I be struggling, or
reaching for the moon?
I know not what I’d ask,
if that date were to be,
so I’ll stay curious still,
continue to be just me.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Beautiful poem! Enjoyed reading.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the read, Swati 🙂
