Before


Before the unwelcome arrival of fate,
Before starting too early is staying too late,
Before the vessel that holds our hopes sinks,
We drink.

Before the world comes to tear us apart,
Before the end that was ripe at the start,
Before the hour of chaos and cleaving,
We sing.

Before the fatal hour of leaving,
Before the last sun sets on your breathing,
Before the long odds of one short last chance,
We dance.
