What Keeps Us Going...Into the Night

When you consider the odds...
Of ever finding each other in this big world...
Of ever reuniting...
Of ever finding the dream...

Of ever finding the touch....the hug....the embrace
Of true friendship....of love...

The odds are so long against us....
There is so much distance....
There are so many competing forces...

But a deeper force is at work....
A creative force within us and each other...
That lessens the odds....that makes it more likely...
That somehow, in this unmistakeably vast universe...
....we will touch again...

Our minds....
Our spoken words...
Our faces...
Our hearts....

We must go somehow bravely...
....into the night....
....out there, if we can believe, is the light....
