Ken Trimble # 10 If ( inspired by song La Maza lyrics by Silvio Rodrigeuz, sung by Mercedes Sosa

If I didn't believe in madness
If I didn't believe in the thrill and dread
If I didn't believe  in every crack of light
If I didn't believe in the hope and fear
of every lost path
If I didn't believe in the scales,
in the reason of balance
If I didn't believe in my road
If I didn't believe the space between
sound
If I didn't believe in the silence.

What would be
What would sanity be without
madness
What would living be without
death
What would light be without
night
What would hope be without
love
What would balance be without
falling
What would space be without
stars
What would silence be without
the roar.

If I didn't believe in desire
If I didn't believe in what I believe
If I didn't believe in goodness
If I didn't believe in every wounded
soul
If I didn't believe to even bother
If I didn't believe in listening
If I didn't believe in what stays
If I didn't believe in what fights .

What would be..
