Should I call it fate
Where do I begin to tell you how Ive awaited
for you my lady?
Should I start in my not so distant past when I acted the part of a court jester seeking
happiness in my own self pity?
Can I begin with the present passive and describe the most beautiful event of my life, the
day I met you.
I seemed to be at a turning point , a cross roads of sorts and I was beginning to come to
life once again.
Not fully understanding the events that were happening to me yet accepting them as a fate
that God had bestowed upon me.
How I remember walking into that place and wondering why I knew that my life was about to
change, because there you were.
I knew from the first moment my eyes gazed upon your beauty,
your hair of Autumn gold caressing your soft and gentle shoulders
that I had come in search of my destiny.
Oh how radiant you were .
Your presence seemed like the rays of a new morning sun soothing the night out of my
bones.
Your eyes of jade seemed to penetrate and wash away the cobwebs of a dormant mind.
Door after door sprang open and that beggar at long last sped away.
I had begun to feel the sun once again then you were gone, how could this be?
Fate was to have its way , the tapestry was to begin again for you had returned.
