Empowered

Love is empowered by the will, so embrace that thought.
For if love is just a feeling, I will … to will it not.





Inspired by Brian Strand's "What You Will" .

Rob, thanks for your kind words on Marking Time. There are so many seniors where I live and this type of thing happens often. After one friend dies, the other loses the will to live. Losing a best friend to Alzheimer's must be very, very sad. Your memories remain alive while his have faded. I'm sorry you had to experience this. Love and blessings, Carolyn

Very intriguing message here, Rob. When we are in love, there is a feeling of empowerment. I think the two are interrelated. Cool, thought-provoking poem, Rob. Best wishes in Brian's contest. Love, carolyn
