To the Gods of Love


Powers known and powers not, 
Names remembered, names forgot, 
Or never handed down to man:
I call on you to aid my plan.
For somewhere under stars above
Is someone looking long for love
As I have looked 
   and never 
      found.  

Search each nation, clan, and tribe
For someone I cannot describe
And bend our paths through time and space
To intersect and interlace
And intertangle evermore
While happiness you hold in store
To bring to us 
   from year
      to year.  

For the other, as for me,
I ask you, listen to my plea
For somewhere lonely lies the one
I seek, whose life has not begun
To be what I was always told
Is truly life, to have and hold
And cherish 
  to the end
     of time.  

Powers known and powers not, 
Names remembered, names forgot, 
Or never handed down to man:
I call on you to aid my plan.
For somewhere under stars above
Is someone looking long for love
As I have looked 
   and never 
      found.
