looking out at life 

asking for something 

never knowing enough 

’til it’s gone missing 

 

as if you could hear it 

in the air 

melody 

in your ear 

 

might have one 

chance left 

might not 

be deserving 

 

getting away with it

just playing with it 

not giving a name to it 

just too much thought 

 

you can’t explain it

you just feel it 

taking off your head 

going with your heart 

 

while logic works against it 

something else calls for it 

part of you can’t believe it 

something else says “just in time” 

 

making decisions changing directions 

before the curtain comes down 

divine intervention’s 

made too many stops
