Twist of Fate

A Twist of Fate


By a cruel twist and turn of fate
Time is neither here or now.
Getting older and older while we wait
We are but actors in mid- bow.

Over and over in continuous play
The same journey year after year
A labor of love has gone far astray.
What's left is not entirely clear?

Seems the answer was always there.
The soft sirens song we can feel
Life can be so blind and unfair.
Was it a dream or was it for real?

Love and fate go hand in hand
Like old stories of horse and cart.
Throughout life we wear a brand,
The one worn on all of our hearts.

Our time winds down in the end.
Survivors so battered and numb
Through it all we're able to mend
Time and fate had their final run.
