Serendipity

Serendipity God’s hand, like a muse of the serendipity, Makes His presence self-evident In marvels colliding When happy chances of happenstance Tango with moments of pure whimsy – Living epiphanies’ lifeblood In generosity flowing, spilling over, With revelation’s laughter of surprise To stumble upon clear eyed condensed coincidence – The synchronicity of planets aligned – Lost in the waxing-waning cycles of moonrises A plea born upon the lips of a servant’s heart, For parallel footsteps in pilgrimages and side by side Linked by servanthood planned for such a time as this. Hearts of affirming collaboration bloom Like flowers growing through concrete cracks When rainstorms hurricane this battered plan A living answer for pacing eyes Sometimes blinded, wearing discouragement, As hearts appear in surprise parties With glimpses of encouragement – Moments when hilarity finds a perfect bubble heart On a flapjack’s edge Or a coffee saucer wearing a topaz colored gem Tar droppings screaming “Surprise!” Or thunderheads giggling in celebration of floating miracles Eternity’s prankster – vitality’s elan Living in the playful realms of a-ha’s inspiration. 7-22-21 Contest: Muse Sponsor: Regina McIntosh When I changed the name of my ministry to A Servant’s Heart I asked God “Are you with me?” From that time on I have been seeing hearts – everywhere – even as recently as today!
