Ad Break

Second Thoughts

It feels, and looks, as if
there's magic in the air tonight.
A sign, perhaps, that what is due to happen
will turn out all right.

I'm not saying it's written in the stars.
I wouldn't go that far.
There are no stars shining bright
on this particular night.

On second thoughts I'm not so sure
things will turn out well.
Not when I think about
what is in store.

And how often I've been wrong
before.
