What If?

What if you couldn’t bear being inside four walls another second?

What if you so desperately needed to breathe the air of the possibility of surprise that you turned away from the screen – any screen – and ran outside?

What if the snow came up to your knees? What if rain slammed down on your head?

What if a craze of ravens flew overhead, their shadows leading you toward the trees?

What if you kept moving?

What if you raised your eyes from the ground and witnessed an embrace?

Prompt: What if?
