Date with Destiny
Exquisite joy, exquisite pain
Are no strangers to me
For years ago I slipped my moorings
Drifting out to sea
That ocean of the hearts delight
Denied me for so long
Where waves of passion swell the night
As mermaids sing their song
The story of a love gone cold
And weep while singing,
So sad the song
They sing of how I risked it all
To set my captive free
A melancholy figure
Revealed in a dream to me
She stood alone in darkest gloom
Before a window barred
All dressed in black,
I viewed her back
And knowledge came to me
She was my ‘self’
My strong desires
I’d locked up on the day
I gave myself in marriage
My freedom locked away
In a dark and lonely dungeon
Far from the light of day
So I broke free
And chanced my fate
Out on life’s oceans deep
Oh! Had I known the hurt and pain
The endless tears I’d weep
I may have stayed confined and lost
Instead of free..
And tempest tossed
But still I sail the stormy seas
My destiny to claim
For faintly on the sweet night air
I hear him call my name
I just keep going forward
I am so glad I am free
For standing on some distant cliff
He scans the seas for me.
