What Fate!
  
What fate was it...
of the myriad of stars
up in the sky at night
my eyes befell upon
the one that held your light?

What luck was there...
that of all the places
a flake of snow could land
the one that held your soul
would fall upon my hand?

What chance could be...
that of all the grains of sand
that lay beneath the sea
the one that held your love
should make it's pearl in me?

What awe it is...
what fate, what luck, what chance,
what miracle devine,
of all the heartbeat symphonies
your heart would beat in tune to mine!

Poetry is an expression of feelings.  I do not write poems, but rather, the poems use me to write themselves.
