Anything

I could write anything.
Gods and men,
Truths and morals,
Principle, parable, and prophecy.
Worlds unknown, unseen, unheard.
Abstractions of abstractions,
Metaphysical metaphors.

I could write anything.
Conquests and wars,
Heroes fallen, kings slain,
History written and rewritten,
Only remembered by the victors.
Blood spilled in fields, forests, deserts,
Seeds of destruction sewn beyond measure.

I could write anything.
Desire and longing,
Old adages of romance,
Classic themes of repeated failures.
Loves seen and felt,
Hearts broken and filled.
The sting of a rose's thorn.

I could write anything.
A single day,
Exploration of simplicity,
Recollection of images,
Words said or paraphrased.
Observations,
Dissertations.

I could write anything.
Music and harmony,
Rhyme and rhythm,
Encompassing an aural atmosphere.
Taste, genre, theme.
The notes of strings and souls.
Passion of the masses.

I could write anything.

I wrote this.
