An Impossible Task Poem by Lora Colon
An Impossible Task
I could count the grains of sand on the shore,
Through a straw, I could drink the sea dry,
But never could I stop loving you,
If commanded, I could not comply
I could move a mountain that blocked your view,
I could rearrange stars in the sky,
But never could I stop loving you,
It would be foolish for me to try
I could change the song of the birds at dawn,
I could dance on the flames of the sun,
But never could I stop loving you,
Certain deeds simply cannot be done
I could walk on water to come to you,
I could do anything that you ask,
But never could I stop loving you,
That would be an impossible task
Deep love is divine that the rare enjoy. Thanks for sharing. You have presented the conundrum well
Dancing on the surface of the sun, counting grains of sand, drinking the sea dry through a straw...and so on. Such great imagination to show how powerful love can be. I really enjoyed this masterpiece.
I see there are 4 poems of the same title on PH. AND, wow, each poet's first name begins with 'L'. ;)
But if he DID, he'd walk all day on COLD water, trying to not, on his feet, HUGE blisters raise! !
Who would dance on the sun! ? Who indeed? Perhaps B. Johnston, to feel the praise?
I can change a diaper, but not a bird's song. If I were told to do it, I'd simply answer: 'Why? '
