The Things Not Seen

a flag is suppose to wave
but it cannot without 
the invisible force
of the wind
and waters they flow
but they cannot
without a current
love is suppose to grow
but it cannot without desire
a lamp is suppose to glow
but it cannot without a fire
for somethings to work 
invisible things are required
it is the forces that we cannot see
that controls the world
by a large degree
the power of love and chemestry
the forces that are, and let things be 
they live inside of you and me
it is as simple as the difference
between the brain and the heart
one exist inside of you 
and the other is the invisable part
a heart is suppose to love
but it cannot without it's invisible part
