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

This IS Ron's home...isn't it?  Replete with Kleenex, or other worthy tissues, or perhaps his own mother's hankies...

I wasn't expecting this, at all...

but I thank you, even more, for the unexpected.

Lovely.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

You do find poetry in the smallest and finest parts of the world.  KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

...and by creating that "breath poem" to touch it just then, you changed the course of its life. All it became -- where it came to rest and how it grew -- became yours, and you became part of it. Poets are like that....some very much like that.

we so touch the lives of others...so very profounding, without even relizing...and you dear poetess, have touched so many with your wise words and compassionate heart.

Thank you for writing and sharing
simply beautiful
