If I Were...

poem by: Joe Breunig
Written on Aug 01, 2013

If I were...
    truly illuminated, what would you see?
    Could the brightness of Christ fully shine
    and the persona of me disappear?

If I were...
    gifted, in other unknown ways.
    Would I be able to discover them
    or would I choose to deny them anyway?

If I were...
    blessed, beyond Earthly needs.
    How much of myself would I be willing to share,
    besides just money and possessions?

If I were...
    eloquent, in my verbose speech.
    Would I be able to teach anything
    and would anyone want to listen?

If I were...
    God, as Satan imagined.
    Would I give people choice
    and have them risk damnation?
