Fortune

Although now it seems like never

When we were even less together

I appeared to have my back to the wall

And the way things were going

There was no way of knowing

If I was having any luck at all

Silently, suddenly

Standing before me

An old man awaited his death

Part of me cried out

But none turned to hide

For no curses distorted his breath

It was then I took to thinking

And my hands took to writing

And my dreams came

In answer to the call

Waiting in wonder

My toughts ran like thunder

Could it be that

I've been wasting my mind

I grew sort of cold

As the vision unfolded

Bursting the shackles of time

So I gathered what I had

I took a look at

What was going down

And it made me kinda sad

Seeing all the circles

Going slowly round

And the stars sang in harmony

It was so perfect that

It laid me down

And the rainclouds

Were tossed away

Seemed like the world was lost

And I would drown in its sound

Somewhere along the way

I don't know where

I had really believed I was poor

Looking, not seeing

The point of my being

When all of my fortune is sure
