Thief of Happenstance

So swift the movement
of grace in dance of air is caught
within the gentle hold of web
laced to the corner of the house

It called me from a quick glance
that stopped half way to the mailbox
delighted      a drift to rescue

a thief of happenstance

Frangible ovule of flight
to drift on current I blew
a breeze not reckoned more than breath
with lips to kiss the flight of fairy
across the lawn
away

allright...now ya gone and dunnit...I have
to break out the Funk and Wagnalls and get

Nicely done dear one...I didn't know a kiss
could be blown that far?  But knowin' you,
with all that air behind it,  me thinks it
can be done....

Wonderful Martie !! Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
