You need to read _Reflections II, Transmission Lines and Antennas_

You might be able to puzzle some of it out although much of
the math might be too esoteric for you.

Whats wrong with stating that power is reflected by the load? Isn't
power delivered to the load from the source? Elementary electronics
states that power is voltage time current.

Currents in a transmission line are induced currents. They are induced
from the E and H fields of the TEM wave. I hope that you don't think
that current races up and down the coax millions a times per second?
