What if one?

What if the world would stand still
For one year?
Breathe in and hold on until
We find silence to hear
What if one minute would last
A complete day?
Oh, would you speak to your past
And what would you say?

Would expectations allow
To ask what you feel?
The answer is: How long is enough?
And we'll never agree

What if one day would repeat
Over some years?
Our daily rotation bittersweet
Could shed off some fears

What will we make of all this?
Which ideas will survive
Beyond the warm, reminisced
Feel of being alive?

What if one?

What if one?
