What Cosmic Force? Poem by Danny Speicher

What cosmic force makes us to fall in love?
I once knew, I once knew, just what or whom
I think I know the Who that makes love bloom
But, the pain felt makes me question above

What stroke of fancy and moment of chance
Makes us find ourselves in the place and time
To find that one that makes our lives sublime
There must be more than luck to this romance

But, why, oh why, oh Lover in the sky
Would you grant this love and snatch it from me
The only earthly love that's set me free
Who am I to question fate? Who am I?

I'm a man whose heart is broken apart
Waiting for a love that won't soon depart
