To the moon
You said
If only you had
Light of your own
I might love you
I might
To the mountain
You said
If only your slopes
Were softer
I might love you
I might
To the ocean
You said
If only your water
Were drinkable
I might love you
I might
To God
You said
If only your existence
Were proved
I might love you
I might
The moon coaxed
Love my reflection
And the mountain dared
Love my strength
The ocean whispered
Love my depth
God said
Love....
But already you had gone
On
To seek
Perfection
With your hatred
