July Nights

If I could

stop time

I would

 

make the dew

freeze

on flower petals

 

and the

stream from

jets stay

in the sky.

 

I'd keep

the rain

constant

 

and the waters

calm.

 

Birthdays would

last forever,

 

I do's

wouldn't become

I don'ts

 

and funerals

would never happen.

 

If I could

stop time 

 

I'd stop it

right here

in this moment

when 

I am with you.
