Time

Hope is wonderful thing - 
It is the adrenaline of our lives 
It keeps us moving forward and growing
and yearning to be more. 
My love always said "Time Will Tell"  
In that simple statement 
I find hope and the river 
of life that flows from it. 

Past 

Time has told me of your gentle passion 
And it's unwavering fidelity.  
Time has told me that you complete me 
And caress my heart, mind and soul. 
Time has told me that you are awakening
Growing in grace and beauty as a person 
Time has told me you will sacrifice yourself 
in order to find yourself 


Present

Time is telling me I must only breath you in 
Like a mist and that while our love is strong 
Time is telling me you are not mine nor am I yours 
We are  but a moment of each other's lives 
No matter how brilliant or beautiful. 
Time is telling me that while we do not possess each other 
We are possessed by our love and willingly give ourselves 
To each other in love each time we meet with no guarantee of the future. 
Time is telling me I should have no fear of losing your love 
While I may lose all contact with you
Time is telling me I will always have a piece of 
Your heart in me to tickle my soul.


Future

Time will tell if I am to ever hear your 
now faint voice in my ears again.
Time will tell if we are to ever meet.  
Time will tell if we are ever to touch fingertips 
Or if I will ever feel you cheek in my palm 
Or my arms around you and yours around mine. 
Time will tell if we will ever spend 
A day - week month - year - lifetime with each other 
Time will tell if we will ever be more than mysterious 
And mystical lovers full of passion and desire. 

Hope

All the things that time will tell 
Some probable ~ 
Some possible ~ 
Some inconceivable ~
fill me with grace and beauty. 
My soul rejoices ~ my heart sings
My mind has hope ~ and I am fully alive. 
You have taken me above the oceans, the valleys 
And the mountains to a place we share called heaven.
In a ship called Hope 
And only Time Will Tell
