Serendipity

I nonchalantly took a shot.

Half-concerned,

For such unexpected actions 

Yet half-hopeful 

For the times we’ve spent together. 

I found the right puzzle piece, I think.

Like that one shell shining on the seashore

Like that one quarter gleaming on the streets 

Like that one clover with its fourth precious leaf  

Just happens to captivate my eyes. 

Comes into sight with no particular reason. 


I’m not expecting anything, maybe I am.

Just a little, I don’t know. 

Then, came in you

Looking less perplexed than I am 

Less anxious than I am 

More composure shall I say 

As if you had a say to my shot 

As if you were going to appease me 


I took your reply as an affirmative. 


Serendipity!


The author's comments:

Bored in a flight back home, I decided to write a poem about a word that came into mind: serendipity. I liked how it sounded. I liked its exquisite meaning. I just had to write a poem on it. 

The poem relates to an experience I had added with a tad of imagination.

Favorite Quote:
"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)

"Upon his bench the pieces lay
As if an artwork on display
Of gears and hands
And wire-thin bands
That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]
