Perfect Timing
Perfect Timing
I never believed in the Fates
Or planets descending and rising---
Palmistry, numerological dates
Were nothing but rationalizing.
All this nonsense was meant for the hordes
Who wanted life to be painless;
Aces of Cups and Sevens of Swords
Were only for the brainless.
But now that I've met you, I'm really at odds---
Was this some cosmic complicity?
Could it have been something planned by the gods
Or simply synchronicity?Your being there
When I was there
Was perfect timing.
Only one look
But the look that I took
Was perfect timing.
For I had succeeded
In catching your eye.
That was all that I needed
To convince me that my
Inspection
Was timed to perfection.
Your smiling when
I looked again
Was perfect timing;
Nothing was said
But the nod of your head
Was perfect timing.
And now that we are together
I hope that we'll stay
Side by side forever
Timing everything this way.
