-why I Loved Carolyn Devonshire Poem Powerless Enigma of Truth-

Powerless
Lightning cut the power off four times this week
 As sultry summer storms pass overhead
 By candlelight, I write a letter to my sweetheart
 Without him, I feel powerless

 Without him, I feel powerless
 By candlelight, I write a letter to my sweetheart
 As sultry summer storms pass overhead 
Lightning cut the power off four times this week.


“Why I loved Carolyn Devonshire Poem Powerless “Through dark or light being persistent is never powerless. True LOVE IS never stopped by darkness nor light, love is never powerless
Light is natural there’s power in and from it. There’s also power in the storms natural
Though granted power to co-create candles from wax and wicks. The power to co create is allowed by God through blessings granted and also through punishments (Sin nature) There’s no power in the dark only in the light.
Enigma of Truth
“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth...” by Oscar Wilde 

Face-to-face, he lies; 
truth locked inside his heart’s vault.
 Is it fear of ridicule? 
How did he get here?
 Why is it he dons a mask
 before he’ll share true feelings?

“Why I loved Carolyn Devonshire Poem Enigma of Truth “
So true, so true thinking and speaking the truth there’s relevance. One’s honesty shouldn’t change no mattered face, or truths covered or uncovered. 
I loved how she picked this these truths breaking down Oscar Wilde quote

You chose such an interesting poem of Carolyn's to illustrate the power of love. Your tribute is very nicely expressed, James. I don't think I ever saw this little poem of Carolyn's and I love its mirroring pattern!
