Serendipity
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
When you close your eyes,
Drop that disguise,
Smile and sigh, remember me.
Our love sprang up, a clear surprise.
It helped me be who I was meant to be.
Under God’s all-knowing eyes,
Spring erupts in a Cherry tree.
Marvel at each exquisite sunrise.
Society might forgive you and me.
Let go of yesterday. A woman tries,
Shines as a reformed devotee.
Love heals heartbreak. Overcomes lies.
It sparkles essential, always ‘key.’
All the wise know love never dies.
Intuition enables us to ‘see.’
