Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

And So It Begins

And so it begins
The game of life
The dominos of love
Falling where they may

The timer activated
Fresh out of a box
Learning the rules
As we go along

No plan or ruse
No rhyme or reason
Just out for some fun
Moving game pieces

Taking turns
At winning and losing
Rising and falling
In endless succession

An ebb and flow of emotions
The tears the laughter
Riding a roller coaster
Of highs and lows

A detonated cosmic launch
Mingling interstellar orbs
Crisscrossing arcs of destiny
In a waltz of muses
Or divine intervention
