Waits for No Man, Time nor Tide










 See live first rendition here

As the orange sun sets in the west

People make plans but G-d knows best

An unrelated series of events

Transforms the world through which we vent

Like dominoes in an unplanned trigger

A simple need so vigorously

To reach the mind with tangled instruction

No ulterior motive or appetite for destruction

The anticipated outcome holds no weight

Saved by grace in a leap of faith

All for the good of gentle souls

Who needn’t worry as it unfolds

It comes together beyond our means

For nothing is really as it seems

When inspiration from fantastic landscapes

Finds destinations wise men take

That is the place you ought to go

The more you plan the less you will know

I cast my fate to the wind’s exposure

Like autumn leaves, thoughts find closure

Making connections, forming a bridge

Gathering sense approaching the ridge

Crossing onto the uncharted side

What waits for no man, time nor tide
