Destinations unknown
in God's hands his future and fate
are thrown.

He took a chance,
at his rope's end

he did not know what the coming days would bring
he does not know what will happen by week's end

trying to reconnect
with lost loves, lost friends.

what the future may bring
by then, what song will he sing?

So, he returned to the page
to where this story all begins

wrapped around a rose bush
removing the thorns,
trying to mend a book
where the pages are torn.


Joy, what GREAT joy there could be
turning hidden faces into a happy rosary

oh the stage is set,
on the lines, a wire
messages sent
results for an unknown,
unheard of...
desire.

He knows he has to leave
reset his destination

but with whom, he wants only one
its life, its complex,
its daring, its risk

its sheer,
its dear,
its sheer,
sheer poetry.
