When We (Collide)

by Poet on the Piano   Jun 8, 2013


When we first meet, it might be in an ordinary place,
a place that does not harbor superiority or attraction
but is a part of everyday living.

Rock-climbing toward new, daring heights
or picnicking on the surfaces of deserts and
beaches no one admires anymore...
our eyes will understand the torn bits
of sand that still sit at the bottom of hourglasses,
just passing time.

We'll move ahead,
and not stay broken.

When we first realize this is true love, I imagine
the whole world twirling at every angle behind us,
black and white blurs,
but only we are on the merry-go-round,
phenomenal clarity and color
and darling, we're not becoming dizzy.

We'll be welcomed breezes upon every landscape
the Lord ever designed with his loving breath,
and we'll be everywhere at once.

Wherever we drift...
we'll be one.

And whether the earth is rooting for us,
the home team, or the visitors on the bleachers,
we'll keep discovering the small components
of our love

that rekindles a brightness many doubt
can exist for this long.

    When you meet the person you end up falling in love with, you will always remember where you first met and how special the moment was. I feel like even in the most ordinary place, the moment is still very special.

    I found the merry go round image interesting, because when you do feel as though you're in love it starts with infatuation & nothing else in the world matters, everything does seem like a blur, it's kind of a lot to take in. I like how you mentioned not becoming dizzy, I feel as though this says a lot, like you wish to still see reality and not lose sight of it. It's quite important actually when you fall in love, to not be naive and to always see reality because you never know what may go wrong, you have to really be aware of it so that it doesn't take you by surprise & cause too much hurt.

    I also like that you say it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you being together, no ones opinion will matter because you'll love them no matter what. It doesn't matter, you have each other and will always be one.

    Lovely thoughts here, I feel you are always full of so much wisdom and are very mature for you age. It's quite important for the future and such things as this that you will encounter :) Well done
