The mystery

it knows not time, neither boundaries nor limits you see
it is not touchable, it is not controlled by the
you cannot turn it on nor off, for there is no switch
it is not placed in the heart not sewed in by a stitch
it is more powerful than any measure of force
it travels no specific path nor course
you cannot choose it for it chooses you
it binds into one the hearts from two
its size is not measured by length nor weight
it can be found in what some call fate
it hasn’t wings, nor legs, no lungs, brain or heart
however it knows when its half is apart
its power causes happiness, sadness too
it is desired by many and abused by few
it can capture you, make you laugh and cry you see
you can have it, share it, or be forced to set it free
it should be nourished with much care to grow
for it can be damaged leaving behind the deepest of sorrow
it is the largest mystery next to the lord above
it is the single most powerful feeling, LOVE
