Serendipity As Such

Our misty eyes were destined for each other
when at last we met at crossroads by the brook.
Where some hidden hand of fate did gently guide
 us up enchanted pathways known to but a few.
Passed the prickly rose bush shepherd on each side of us, 
passed barren plains worn out by trampling hoofs, 
toward the ever arching slope that slowly rises 
above time and earthly longing.
Beyond that peak which openly invites 
each climber to ascend heavens of their own design.
To blissful acme edging over skyline haunts
from which no one yet has ever dared return.
