Do you feel it?
It has such strength, energy
Can foster magical wonders,
or darkest hours.
...
You must have faith
to survive in this life
You have to
believe in yourself
...
It certainly is
It comes
from years of
understanding, insight, thought
...
It's something
that all of us do
at one time or another.
It's usually not intentional
...
The enormity of the situation
clouded my perspective
resulting in a sense
of imposed delirium
...
Reality can
be anything
you want
it to be!

The Power Of Love
Do you feel it?
It has such strength, energy
Can foster magical wonders,
or darkest hours.
Triumphed over evil
taken people to highest heights
produced the miracle of life
Torn apart civilizations,
cemented societies
established hierarchies.
It has caused Wars, death, destruction.
It can make days seem brighter,
the heavens seem near
It is a bond that is
stronger than material possessions
Created mysteriously with
no way to define it
having a long lasting impression
that will embellish long after
the flames have burned low.
