Power Vs Potential Poem by Anthony Levitt

A common misunderstanding do we humans make, when asked to define the ability that comes from within...
The most common word thrown around is power, seen as strength, resilience and those who do not cower.
It is used by the church: By the 'Power' invested in me.
It is used by the laws: The 'Power' of Attorney.
It is even used in simple computer games, like the ones who have to go on a journey.
Yet power is a state of play, a position on the field, the one who holds the most over another's life and then it can become a weapon they yield...

Yet Potential is creative and so much more...
It gives birth to ideas which help open door's...
How would it feel to say: The 'Potential' of Christ or the 'Potential' of love? Would it feel like using that word was saying enough?
Potential has ability and Potential can be vast.
Power can be destructive and even wear a mask.

Yet, the way I describe it another could see...
Just how great power could be.
For though they are word's they are feelings too,
That become experiences, separate for me and you.
That which speak's truth can only give birth to what come's...
The result for your own choice, for which...
There is only the one...
