Our Time

and if our paths were to meet
on that day destiny decides to
bring to us
all that we've longed for
ever believed in.
would we be ready?
to greet that day with open smiles
and a willing heart
to step into
this time of us ...

or would we turn
and walk away
unwilling to receive,
fueled by doubts from lesser times
that never could believe
and why should we now?

misery does love its company
and craves at every cost
the broken dreams of unrealized scenes
to wallow in the fire
those catastrophic bleeds
it's all its ever known

how can we expect them to understand
this melody sublime,
of hearts and souls that sing this song
this dance of new revealings ...
