happenstance

                   what yesterday
                   decided
                   of tomorrows
                   we shall know
                   had the winter
                   ended sooner
                   would they have had a son
                   a moment later
                   years ahead
                   and every now is changed
                   nights
                   when fate was meant to come
                   another knew instead
                   with eyes
                   were not the same
                   and for me waitied
                   called to me another name
                   I never had
                   but for a star
                   that made its way
                   past mercury and mars
                   was past the call
                   to war
                   the angels came
                   speaking of a place
                   not yet
                   imagined
                   a world was dreamed
                   and waiting us
                   as hands moved slowly
                   'cross the sands
                   given more to
                   happenstance
                   than we could ever know
                   to find in this
                   arriving
                   back to us
                   we wandered home
