Yes

a word of chance
by definition
in risk of more
not less in danger
do you find that
comfort fits too well
how likely it is
that it will occur
a hope of possible
so unpredictable
gambling peril
finding fortune

You nailed the "yes" on the head and I loved your 2 closing lines.

The thought
of going through that
all over again
is unsupportable

And all contained in 3 small letters, forming my favorite word. *S*
