This poem was written by my late husband John Dean Williamsen. The Glue of the Universe was included in the National Library of Poetry’s anthology “Walk through Paradise” in 1995. It was later included in the International Library of Poetry’s anthology “A Surrender to the Moon” in 2005.
| The Glue of the Universe Love is the glue that holds the universe together. It’s not just a feeling; it’s more like a tether. Gravity is actually love in action, a binding force that expresses as attraction. In our quiet moments, we sometimes feel a spirit of oneness: that’s love’s appeal. Do not be deluded. Love’s not just devotion, not just a trinket or flighty emotion. It’s a harmonizing principle that will draw to you wealth, health, or a serious case of the flu! Whatever you choose as a source of affection will be drawn to you under love’s direction. It’s an unthinking power that simply obeys and responds to requests all ways, always. So, be aware of your thoughts—what draws your disdain, lest love’s magnetic power draw to you only pain. Written by John Dean Williamsen [1934-2020] |
