Walking by the mighty River,
I thought why do we so easily
give our power away;
put ourselves in vulnerable situations?
I could not find an answer within
but then I thought I heard a voice
as if from the River itself:

Self-empowerment’s no big trick
if you understand power!
Look at me, my mighty flow:
how many times have I been attacked
been dammed, re-channelled, dyked?
My waters used, abused, poisoned?

But still they fear me in Spring
never knowing which way my power
will turn, flow and over-flow.
Yet know this: I bear no ill-will
to those who would control my ways
for I know they do so from fear
and sometimes from pure greed..

Remember this, when someone
seeks to take away your own power:
they operate from fear,
having no power of their own.

Understand the source of all power
and join with that,
then you can share power
when someone needs it:
it will not deplete nor weaken
for the Force will be with you always.
It will strengthen you, guide you,
and it will make you wise.

SAVED faster than you can say, "May the Force be with you!"

I loved it! Your poem has a 'power'ful message and was divinely written!

Giving you a big, power-packed hug for this beauty!
