I don’t know if my higher power is creating the universe, or in the afterlife,

Or performing world changing miracles.

I believe my higher power is in me changing my mind,

And in that unknown wilderness people call “my heart”.

Today I arrive at the park, held by a quiet feeling of sadness.

A sadness that does not need to be resolved, or overcome,

But a sadness that needs to be accepted.

The acceptance that we can only go so far in our relationships.

We can choose to love without end, but the feeling of love ,

Like all feelings is impermanent.

People don’t choose to stop loving, and we don’t say we stop loving,

But we start acting like we stop loving, often without intention.

I can surrender myself to a relationship for a very, very, very long time,

But I cannot surrender absolutely and forever.

I must return to myself, and I must know who I am when I am alone.

As the song goes, we can choose to love after the love is gone,

And that is usually for the best, but it is a choice we make,

Remaining true to our own light.
