Page 110 of Worlds Collide

To think about it twice,

Two worlds collide

As different as they could be

The explosion made

Their universe shine bright,

Pure emotion

But what wecreated was and is

And always will be the most beautiful sight

And it’s only when you look and listen in the fall

That you’ll understand how two worlds colliding

Might’ve been the miracleafter all

When they cooled down,

and everything began to settle,

It was the simple contentment,

The familiar sight every day

That kept the universe transcendent.

But what wecreated was and is

And always will be something to balance carefully,

And it’s only when you look and listen in the spring

That you’ll understand how two worlds colliding

Could result from the flutter of a wing,

And maybe youforgot

Maybe you never looked, never listened,

Maybe you never felt it in the first place, darling

How perfect we made them,

Maybe I’m the one who failed then.

And maybe ifI’d hesitated

If I’d been inclined and thought about it twice,

I would still have my own light.

Maybe then I would still feel
