If thoughts <br />were carried on scented winds <br />And prayers <br />were caught by candle light, <br />If love <br />was found under seaside rocks <br />And dreams <br />fell ripe from honey trees, <br />If faith <br />was kept afloat, gliding, <br />in a green canoe, <br />and fish knew <br />our given names <br />and how to let us go, <br />and if life <br />was more than a teardrop <br />clinging, <br />briefly, <br />to a smile <br />and if wars were fought <br />with lollipops and laughter <br />and our children <br />never cried, <br />would we still need <br />those 'good books' <br />and rainbows in the sky?<br /><br />Sailing to windward<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0-faith-rocks-and-other-rainbows/
