Like Gravity

What is the mystery that holds two people together like gravity though worlds collide well thought plans only flash like comets dreams merely flicker like star After years and years of daily habit alarm clocks, coffee cups, dinner pots After years and years mending children kissing tears, teaching truth, rejecting fear The harvest years remain in golden fields of time with grandchildren and memory what if's and what-might-have-been and what-was-not Still steadfast and true we love each other Defying the world spirit with its self-serving tongue we speak another language needing not words spoken in a glance or a feeling spoken in the secret knowledge of each other Perhaps there is no mystery here Human plans fail and hearts break. Dreams frustrate reality. Feelings diffuse thoughts and confuse commitment. There is an order to the universe Surely the Creator of worlds beyond worlds can hold us together. By knowing Him we will truly know each other. Worlds beyond worlds Eternal love.
