Serendipity Do you know of the place, the place called serendipity? It is between the lines you write, in the negative space where art lives. In the soft loam that holds worms, it is the seed that came from the mountain. It was planted in the poetic haven of a forest of evergreen, just a thought that grew into a poem. It follows a mountain stream on some cascading whim then falls into unexpected joy. It is closing your eyes and turning around three times and pointing to the one who you will love forever. In a circle that turns with spin the bottle it is a kiss in the closet of sweet smelling memory And do I dare say that some grand designer did not focus your attention on a place close enough for me to touch? You fell into my garden like a seed into loam, for I had been waiting, fallow, for your tender planting, and that is serendipity. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 03-31-2001).] |
