What are the strands that tie us
To our destiny?
Where are the threads life follows
Which we cannot see?
The warp and weft of our lives
Are a mystery.
We were once there,
And now are here,
Where next might we be?
A face across a sea of faces
Once in another day,
Was perhaps a face that I knew well
Or perhaps, yet may.
And who can guess the strange design
That draws us close
And then apart?
We once were
And now we are
And perhaps again shall be.
