And if it wasn’t in the stars, it was written a million years before
And, if it wasn’t in the beat, it was sure to be found
In the cold corners of the street

When in the intersection, I know we will meet
Where her laces were untied a little dirtied by the way she
Scuffed her tiny size six feet, and paid it little mind

On the other side, I saw the lake between those houses
The water was a little ruddy, the swans and ducks swam gracefully
While the little boy with the curls in his hair smiled a bit, in awe of the day’s beauty

And, in the background the sound reverberated off the walls
Like neon lights playing hide and seek games
With the colors in my eyes

The keyboard clicked out the thoughts in his mind
He didn’t know what was coming next, but he knew in his heart
It was only good; it was only for the best interests of mankind

And as the ocean licked the cold shiny shore
The Golden Retriever’s nose worked relentlessly
Marking his territory expanding his domain
It was an activity that made him feel powerful and free

And the beat continued on while she bobbed her head
And she knew that whatever was said
Knew whatever happened and came her way
She could live, could survive through stronger, more alive
And she closed her eyes, to look forward to a new day.
