Poems (Rumell)/The only power

​

THE ONLY POWER
I stood there, dumb and bewildered,Before a door that seemed closed to me.I could feel the lure beyond it's portals,But it seemed, that gold was the only key!
I lacked it:my hands seemed tired, empty,And I felt in my heart, I could do no more!From all the trust of the past I was tempted!When lo! I found Love had opened the door!
If we could purge our souls of all doubting,Do our tasks, trusting, each day, each hour;We would find the doors we thot closed, open,And-that Love was the only real Power!
