QuestionsA Poem by B.D. LochridgeWhat would I do if I had but the will? Might I sit all
bemused bout things not done still? Would I spend
precious effort on prizes un-won and gain nothing more than a life then undone? What would I say if
only the words came at my bidding, concise and well heard? Might I have wish to
say them, or then find them absurd, Hoping instead that others be heard. Where would I go had
I the means? Might I find a thousand places nare before seen, spend life with
love’s gifts still not redeemed, and find my soul tired and warn at the
seams? What would I write
were I a poet? Words flowing out in a passionate sonnet extolling the joys of
all those who show it, yet finding not, a one with which to know it. What would I see were
I to look pon my life, were I to open my
reticent scaled over eyes? I would see all the
joys and greatness of life, happy children, a home and an adoring wife.
