When All

When all that wil be has been,
We will all look towards the sky,
As heaven appears in our eye,
And life as we know it will end...

When all that could be is when,
That time will come and will pass,
Until that moment is last,
And everything after is then...

When all that would be is why,
It's any and one circumstance,
That joins a prelude with chance,
To spawn another divide...

When all that should be has died,
It's not that what we beseech,
Has become so far out of reach,
It's what we chose to keep inside...
