If I Were...
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?

Sir
From one published poet to another and speaking strictly from my own perspective, this piece would make a great sermon if that were what I was looking for. As a poem read for enjoyment it missed the mark with this reader. Each poet finds his eventual audience, I just don't feel I'm going to be part of that group in your case.
Honestly yours,
Pete
