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.

and if you dip me
in serene
and up my ippity
if you will
why, I would sing
a serendip
and give you all
my fill
for you are my
serene soft light
my cumber gone
undone
and I would sing
a serendip
if you still
write me fun...

How delightful Martie!
Like the serendipity you write of,

Honest and truly this was simply charming.
