If I could tell you I surely would. <br />The sun understands brilliance, <br />the moon cool radiance in darkness; <br />No efforts do they make, <br />their sureness purely natural to their state. <br /> <br />The trees know of firm roots <br />and utility of suppleness to bend, <br />and the streams to flow and carry <br />for a while, unless too shallow <br />for the fullness of your overflowing love. <br /> <br />If I could tell you I surely would. <br />The warm earth knows deep <br />in its inmost molten core <br />and turns about your light; <br />and in each turn is, unseen, delight. <br /> <br />The path is dimly lit, and winds <br />through shadowed ground. <br />Not yet revealing where it already is, <br />that place you soon will find, <br />each turn, one of a new, unfolding kind. <br /> <br />If I could tell you I surely would; <br />but as you travel, as you surely must, <br />each step of gravelled, grainy, dust <br />will call to you with knowledge <br />that you will learn, to surely trust.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-lies-ahead-5/
