Why not now?

Our hearts travel through the ocean currents

On an endless journey to find one another

Furious or kind, the waves carrying our souls

Under tears of the sky or the beaming rays of sun

Tis never too late nor never too soon

As the depths of the sea know not time

So, why not now? For our souls to collide

Why not now? For our breath to meet

Why not now? While quiet on the surface

And yet turbulent underneath

For our passion sails and submerges far beyond

And upward dances in flight with the birds

We shall forever be reborn

Our spirits together, they die

You and I…why not now?
