To have or to hold,
to unfold or to be -
live or to die in waiting
or risk the thrill of ecstacy.

sitting in this waiting room
waiting for the fall -
Life has it's own schedule
death knows its time to call

Brush past reception
bolt from the door
rush back into the world -
take uncertainty-as giving more

Mutually exclusive
yet singularly alone
my love for you
acknowledged, recognised
made known

Now this revelation
heralds a change
a shift in priorities
get back 'in the game'

Tell the one you love
Go on and have your say
Set aside prejudices
Carve out a brighter day.
