Part Chance / Part Destiny Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

The horizon has changed
the rivers are changing direction
the stars are falling from the sky
I try to go on living but though I try
I feel the best part of me die

I try to leave the thought of you
but I fail in every attempt
I try to feel anger but I have no contempt
I wonder about it often and what it meant
the feeling of care that felt Heaven sent

The soft feeling that you brought me
was something from a dream
Never did anything more softly feel or seem
to me, a solitary man, to whom living lost it's sheen
and then love suddenly sprouted like a beanstalk from a bean

I felt a warmth and desire that turned into a fire
I dreamed of passion though of it I had no ration
You gave me a reason to get through season to season
though the sadness and pain of love, I felt it's strain
But still there was a vision of you in my heart and my brain

You think that I've likely moved on and forgotten your name
but that we never touched or kissed or walked together, I feel the shame
You're still in my heart and in the desire that courses through my vein
People come and go but the though of you remains the same
The feeling was real and not ever just a game

I shouldn't have fallen and the thing I find so sad
is unitl I fell for you, I realize I never really had
Nothing felt so strong before or so strangely meant to be
Until your heart came and sat near mine and me
I realize now that love is part chance

The other part is destiny
