Analysis of Sometime Someday
Steven E. Zeman 1966 (USA)
When two souls look for the same thing
life is abound with changes from the heart.
It’s not the relationship of two but the meaning
of friendship that endures apart.
Common grounds should never be crossed for the souls of respect.
O’ how one wonders where thee would command her thoughts are kept.
Could it be with the heart of her soul or the curiosity of how life is flourished so sudden.
For he is caught in the swirl of destiny, to come, to rest in a wave of storms that have sunken.
Should his soul keep being beaten or should the soul wait for the clouds to open.
Now that his heart is lost for the soft sounds of her voice, the gentleness of her soul unbroken.
O’ where should faith be! In the open, out of control to sway.
Friends always within the heart, souls lost to be away.
Reaching for insanity to be the one.
Sometime Someday.
