On The Beachif love comes ...
if love comes
it comes slowly
like the cooling flutter of a hesitant sun shower
from white winsome clouds
on a hot summer’s day
if love comes
it comes with a purpose
like the breath of an artist’s brush
finding colour on a empty canvas
and capturing everlasting beauty
if love comes
it comes with hope
like the look in newborn eyes
believing the world has strong hands
that will offer soft care forever
if love comes
it comes with a silent wish
that reaches far beyond any dreamy distant star
to the end of space where faith is firm
and every wish comes true
if love goes
if it crumbles or wastes away
all the world dissolves into sudden silence
too deafening for any poetic heart
to describe

Thank you for sharing this beautiful words... in fact somehow I can't be agree that love comes slowly... at least not always... from other hand it's interesting to discover Coldplay on your blog. I wake up with it and my male cat loves it ! Paradise is our number 1 !
ReplyDeleteYou're right ... love can come quickly, I suppose, but I wanted the idea of something lingering ... sort of ... haha ... not sure ...
DeleteAnd Coldplay is always a favourite.
Beautiful once again. You just have a way with words Kennedy. The song was kind of sad though.....
