The Power Beyond

I can feel an immense tug from above;
my energies, within, respond;
it’s the overwhelming power of love;
emanating from beyond.

My physical landscape, fading away;
a power beyond, playing its role;
a part of my heart; bids me to stay;
tugging the sleeves of my soul.

A sense of love’s power, made me shudder;
a joy flowed deeply, into my heart;
my hardened heart began to melt like butter;
knowing, love and I, must never part.

I never really left love; instead, she left me;
in desolation, I thought she didn’t care;
for I was so blinded; that I just couldn’t see;
that my love was still alive; somewhere.

Suddenly, I found a new love; once again;
one wearing a brand new face;
a love, to remain through thick and thin;
brought from God’s saving grace.

For nearly a lifetime we were together;
until tragedy reared his ugly head;
a love, we’d thought would last forever;
suddenly; that love, too, was dead.

Now, I’m too old for someone to love;
my love contains no magic wand;
the power of attraction resides above;
love is the power that lives beyond.
