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.
