If Only
If only the trees of this world
Were as green as those in my mind
The leaves were such a beautiful jade
I had never seen pigments so fine
If only the waters of this world
Glistened like those in my mind
A blue unmatched by any sapphire
The stars would envy its shine
If only the storms of this world
Showered the same lavender rains
Essence of the flower seas
That grew only in this domain
If only the moon of this world
Was silver like the one in my mind
A silver moon that spoke to me
Words only ever kind
If only the skies of this world
Sent a warm breeze, such as this
One that carried dancing petals
Born of the lilac mist
If only my own eyes
Could see into the other world
When my world blurs the lense
From clear to the palest pearl
