Another Life

By Amena Mohammed Bakir

If I had another life, I would love to be a tree. Great, strong, and daring. Under the light of the sun that swallows up every ray he feels. If I had another life, I would adore to be a worm. Even a beetle in the soil with dirt all around and save all days work after digging miles along. If I had another life Let me be born a song with melodies that keep thousands asleep and make an old couple dance in their lawn. If I had another life I shall be anything that is free, a song, a worm or even a tree. But a promise I want to keep Is into a dream of resurrection. I would never want to be 'me'. That is the price I am willing to pay as long as the questions don't keep me up. Well to be grateful the least I should devour today If I had another life I'll take every second choice. Travel the road not taken by just some other time.
