Change of Fortune

It seems as if the gods themselves are smiling upon me,
Looking up into a drab and gloomy sky, I find happiness.

What I have wanted for so long has fell into my waiting arms.
Her.

Nothing seems to be able to penetrate my peace of mind,
Like I have finally found that fragment of joy that has been hidden for so long.

Will it be this way forever?
Probably not, but I intend to enjoy it while it lasts.

Knowing that I won't have to return to my search,
Only to look at her and be at peace.

The Change of Fortune is as fickle as the direction the wind blows,
But at this moment in time it is blowing at my back,
Leading me into her loving arms.

What more to do than embrace every second,
And pray she will always be there through every Change after?
