Happenstance
Did you give me the smile in your eyes for a reason
Or from the empathy in your heart
Friendliness is a blessing
Did you know that too
Not come to conquer nor surrender
But bring equality to this acceptance
As we born of that understanding perceive
Love grows from foundations not needed to be known
Can then cherish in this giving and receiving
Of what springs from the soul
The vibe echoes in the transference
Sensing something to be lived
Then the rising up
Like rockets exploding in the sky
And from the interplay of words and actions
A finding that of all the desiring
A mature nature may not make
A blossom to be kissed
But of it all karma shall out and have the final say
In this wonder we enclose within ourselves
