Patience For The Moment

A life's made up of moments of intermittent bliss
Checkerboard squares of finite pain and love you can't resist

Desperate acts of passion float on hopes thin spun veil
Through day and night, black and white, angel wings or devil's tail

Moments, our life is filled with moments, some are tender waves of joy
We wait through the pain for the joy to pull us through to the sunlight once again
Have patience, patience for the moment
Have patience, patience for the moment

So hard to stay upon the square as the game moves slowly on
Kings and queens forced to move and bleed the same as pawns

Our memory in a tug-of-war as we're pulled from end to end
Through points of vast betrayal fraught with love's consuming blend

Where will I be tomorrow? Where am I today?
Frozen in the sands of time, I'm but a piece of clay.

Though clay within my own hands, I'm the sculptor and the art.
Spinning on the potter's wheel to form a perfect heart
