“The Mystery of Love” as read by Warren Adler

Who knows the answer to the mystery of love?

You won’t find it in the heavens above

Or in our misnamed hearts

Pierced by mythical cupid’s darts

Why love one and not the other?

Why him and not his brother

Or her and not her friend

You won’t find any answers in the end

Because no one knows

Nor is there science to propose

Many have felt the ecstasy of its sudden sting

And often seal it with a ring

To some it lasts for life

Through every joy and strife

For others it just floats away

Departing as a leaf on a windy day

One can never know how or why

It comes and goes

Don’t even try

-W.A.
