Fame or fortune, nor glory
From this untimely death, but
Death has patient wings gliding
Through this storm

Good fortune
I dream this time
What are our wishes
I make it on my own

Time's Fortune

How lucky you are…
to be a Poet

The window to tomorrow
left open

All tracks into the past

and fortune never let preclude,
to disrupt this butterfly effect,

A sudden stroke of fortune or fate,
You can make your own destiny,
But one or another might disagree.

Whilst Gypsies read palms in the bars
But Fortune lies
With alibis
So mind the lights, but watch the cars!
