If It Could Be Poem by Sean Joyce

If it could be, it would be
It would flow from underneath and
growing upwards would encompass
all and everything

If it could be, it would be
And pouring out and over would engulf
all and everything

If it could be, it would be
And coming 'round from every side
would meet and pass
encircling everything

If it could be, it would be.
And growing from the centre would
collect and carry forward
all and everything.

If it could be, it would be
And returning would subsume and yet promote
all and every single thing

If it could be, it would be.
And all that is, or ever was, or will,
Would, in that whole be
then pass away forever
in God's kiss
.....If it could be
