Greater Things For Me

in your silence
I have heard
the answers
to my questions

you misjudge me
for destiny has picked
greater things for me
than I would have
picked for myself
it is true
I am in hesitation
but not by
lack of worthiness
just waiting my turn
my turn was written
for me upon the stars
before I was born
where things are
not mere dreams
but wings waiting
for reality to happen

I must go now
for destiny
does not hold
your place in line
it goes on

~i like this, i like seeing people being able to 'move on'~

and as far as destiny is concerned, i read somewhere that "the future is based on choice not chance".......I think you have a delicate balance of both.

So there is justice!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

No ONE can resist the draw of Destiny ...
     .... for it is connected to heart's true.

        No ONE alone, for such a heart's fate
              holds in memory the love of two.

                     - a love experienced is a love freed
