Serendipitous Idiosyncrasy



A lovely twist of fate,
To glide in life's dance;
A certain choice to make,
To find love, per chance.

Stepping out in perfect faith,
Finding a determined sign;
Standing under loving grace,
As the path of time unwinds.

Dreaming in idiosyncratic ways,
To fuel desired perception;
A serendipitous event of days,
Known upon first inception.

Not to die alone in the night,
As a passionate accident;
But to come alive within light,
Of this fortunate incident.

An occurrence of happenstance,
Lending to a dream sought;
Through unknown circumstance,
A dream of the heart caught.

Not doubting the heart's desire,
Is contained within the blowing wind;
Challenging us to respectfully aspire,
Comprehending, true love has no end.
