That anything might be preordained
Meant to be
I am full of contradictions
Both rational and romantic
Even spiritual sometimes
But not in a religious sense
My spiritual experiences were
The result of beauty
The symphony, paintings, words
The golden light of Tuscany
Paris at dusk
Those were my transcendental moments
But then there was you
I have been loved before
But never like this
So tenderly and passionately
I don’t think I have ever
Been held so dear
Adored so much
So maybe there is a force
That we call fate
That sent you to me
Over the ether
Into my life and my heart
This was unexpected
A leap into the unknown
But then there was you
With your arms open to catch me
And love me, always
So I thank my lucky stars
The universe, fate, karma
Whatever the force is
In the chaos of life
That brought you to me
I might believe now
Because there is you
