What Ifs

What if my petals have
               all blown in the wind?

What if, when I try to sing again
The notes don't reach so high?
               No, not because I don't try

What if I have lost my form?
                        My will, my mind?

When I laugh I cry
But the birds still coo despite my chagrin
They take to the sky, but, no, not with I

What if the magic has finished
                      paying me in kind?

If all my thousand trails are "back then?"
Where has magic gone, what shall I find
But the glint of wings leaving me behind?
