A Question of Love by Tony Ashenden

Love births like a star exploding

you cannot know its causal state

or ever count or name its parts.

Time will never erase it

nor can it be possessed.

If it be not sensed, declared

to touch, seen by eye

heard by ear or felt in speech

it does not exist.

And if love declared is not returned

awaits acceptance or taken for granted

it will not stimulate or create

but it will heal the union

of those departed

and ease the pain

of separation.

Love rewards the giver

gives purpose meaning.

Is a godly power

much greater than Man.
