[104] Beautiful Happenstance
The moments appear, they ebb and flow
all day long—a lifting curve of the lip
is always near—dazzling us with choice—
to move with it so it fully appears
and deepens the twinkles that sit on the edges
of our inner eye and softening face,
even if wrath and fear appear
and persist on pulling at the torn edges
of our enduring grace.
Yet if you are bold enough and take the breath
to realize being full when there is less
It's worth all the strength it takes
to create the way and be the dance of the life you own
—to dare to see and take the chance
to fully live life's one beautiful happenstance.
