Love is a Miracle

Love is a miracle.
It causes so much pain,
So much ruin,
But we can’t abstain
From its hold.
Love is intoxicating.
It brings so much joy
In such a short time.
You’d think it fake
How you could feel sublime,
But it’s real.
But as soon as love leaves
It destroys all joy.
You’re left to derive,
How one can feel so broken
Yet still be alive?
And yet
We believe
Because love is all that we have.
Money and power and skill,
They don’t matter.
When you pause and life stands still
Love is all that matters.
In the end you’ll be judged
For how much love 
Was in your heart.
So we keep loving.
And we persist.
And that’s a miracle.
Love is a miracle.
