Serendipity
The very word, born of whimsy
Appears most preternaturally
Arrives before Time is ready
time
This Time
This time, someone else’s night
Won’t keep me from my moon
This time, the sun will sing me songs
Each day she’ll give me June
This time, when I’m falling
I’m only rising up
This time, when I’m pouring
I’ll drink from both our cups
This time, I won’t be paying
No matter what the cost
This time, when I find it
I’m never getting lost
This time, I’ve got a place to land
Before I take the leap
This time, when I roll the die
It’ll be for keeps
Maze
Let’s begin at the end and then switch back
These seven years of days
Trace our steps between green walls
Till we’re outside the maze
‘Cause we know all we needed now
To twist our former fates
Time unwinds at every turn
It’s never not too late
Grace
Force the future, think in haste
Hurry on, pick up the pace
What a willful, woeful waste
For slowing down reveals life’s grace
It Goes
Yesterday it came in threes
Today he has no prose
Tomorrow could be poetry
I guess that’s how it goes
Q.R.V.
When forever amends and promises bend
Principium et finis
We can take what’s been severed and put new parts together
With epoxy Q.R.V.
Q.R.V.
Perpetuam memoriam
What never happened came to be
When you remember our future,
I hope you throw back Q.R.V
Q.R.V.
Let’s just be friends ’til evening’s end
Chronon camaraderie
When nightfall slinks towards her brink
The time is Q.R.V.
Q.R.V.
The time has come to make amends
For ribald revelry
Our new year will begin and end
When we toast Q.R.V.
Q.R.V.
Wanderlust through time and space,
And over deep blue sea
Won’t reach a final resting place,
‘Less you’ve packed Q.R.V.
