Only God Knows For Sure
there is a particular indention in the wind
it is just enough for you to save me
i thought for sure that i was going to blow away,
but here you come with a shield so needed
there is a particular pause in the grey sky's movements
it is just enough for you to cover me
i thought for sure that i was going to be struck by lightning,
but here you come providing shelter from the storm
i was once a nobody perpetrating the fraud
my reimbursement was the occasional drink from the nearest water fountain
i risked my delicate stomach for some free food and a listening ear
i risked my personal safety for a peaceful place despite my fear
when opportunity knocked, i acted like i was not home
i would be the professional waver offering free housesitting without knowing
i tainted my own forward progress by just hanging around without growing
when belief in the self is indulging in idle time, the easiest pastime is to roam
then along came a similar sound in the same version of my walk
the footprints are just as unsure
the look in the eyes are just as bewildered
this is when i knew....Only God Knows....
there is in particular emphasis on a sincerity smile
it is just enough for me to appreciate you
i thought for sure that i was going to have dream lumps on my head for days
but here we go again joyfully packing suitcases in the trunk of the car
