Any Time but Now

My heart can break

The world will quake

Any time but now.

The stars may fall,

I'll hear death's call

Any time but now.

For a single moment,

The world is silently still.

A single beat repeating,

A shuddering kind of thrill

Breathe.

Take another breath.

Our minds a now expanding,

Every detail so clear.

Press your hand to mine,.

As long as we both are here.

Beat

Let our hearts keep beating.

We are not the victors,

Of some glorious war.

We are merely the after math,

Of the pain before.

Hope

We must keep on hoping.

I know that this is only.

The calm after a storm.

This hanging moment of perfection

Will keep all safe and warm.

Again wars will start

Lives will depart,

Any time but now.

Don't hesitate,

Love won't wait.

Any time but now.
