When Destiny Calls

A wondrous Destiny called me once in youth in the brightest gleam of dreams her words like a soothing sedative and kept me close to her heartbeat her eyes constantly penetrating as if in search of my best thoughts Who shall get in my way when she calls again to hold my claim for me to be stronger and wiser? a mere world questioning me? with destiny, shall I lose? All I dream of are heartbeats a thousand and two two thousand three thousand I could lean forever, waiting as they come up to my ear till I see a smile O destiny that's a life I've saved and another and another... She heard me lament and came knocking, furiously knocking and shaking this simple world it's corrupt reality now shattering fast to my bold and brazen dream When destiny calls again I shall remember... my dream brightened like an OR where another life hangs by my thread To see this and only this even where their million odds will try you watch me I'll be the strongest I'll be the wisest I'll win like a landslide a mere world questioning me? With destiny, how can I lose?
