Oaked

You need not

and in fact cannot

make an acorn

grow into an oak tree

however, happenstance

will help it to flourish.

Fallen far from favor
  into virtual disrepute
  'Happenstance,' replaced by
     random... whatever...

Captured


Moon on the blue Nile.
Dual happenstance.
No pretense or guile.
Captured by romance.
Upon a timeless Isle.
Within a lover's trance.

Fireflies

lights in the dark sky
happenstance they will glow fierce
nature's sparks of life
they group together by love
and dance through the quiet night

Happenstance

if its happenstance
why such resonance
in the back of my brain
in my shoulders in my spine
love jesters fetters still
till it overcomes my will

Zen mode

soles of feet and palms choose to tango dance
radiating God’s love in unison
this boon a fortuitous happenstance
borne by light of the spiritual sun

Guardian Angel Intervention?

Can it be 
without surety
no guarantee

Might it be
a miracle
not typical
seems mystical

Perhaps coincidence
or happenstance
what's the chance

Theoretically
it will always be
a Mystery!

The Next Sweetheart

I wouldn't know where to start
But I know how it ended
Another lonely, broken heart
Again has mended

Always by happenstance
That's how it goes
The other when I least expect it
He's as rare as a blue rose

Happenstance

Listen to poem:
What happens is a bifurcated
fork, with fate's twin prongs.
You can prick with it,
or can be pricked by it.
The choice is yours!
Is that happenstance,
a chance happening?
Or did you make
the chance happen?

The Shape of Kindness

When I first saw it sitting there,
it was a sad and lonely square.
A circle rolled up high to make a moon,
and a triangle played a lively tune.  
This is just the happenstance
that made the first square dance.

Florence

Named as a flowering city;
By a strange happenstance.
For of new ideas, buzzing round
Twas then pollinated.
Which seeded this other glory
Time's renaissance.
Among all the epochs, the one
Lily; highest rated.

Enlightened

Happenstance
           eyecatching 
                and astute
a
unity of indistinct 
                      diversity
Observed
               phenomena..
the emperic
illumed
                true
but inexact

Wings of Fate

A set of circumstances bring
Upon the wings of fate
A happenstance we can’t evade
Conditions we create
Gaze upon our furrowed brow
While struggle through we pray
And realize perhaps too late
That all is meant to be

Jugular notch

Hooked onto the jugular notch is a ray of light under God’s watch, that soul’s ascent ego may not botch. Noticing the happenstance reoccur, with bliss magnetism we concur, as nodes within, in joy purr.

Happenstance

Upon pulchritude I gandered
Alchemy materialized
Adamant sentiments mere panders
Upon pulchritude I gandered
Fervor ascended, language stammered
Imagery never once had I theorized
Upon pulchritude I gandered
Alchemy materialized

The Ever Allure

Ahh 
The ever allure
Ehh 
The absence
Perhaps permits
To pestilence
Ehh
In the eyes of this wild
Luxurious way
Never be blind
Permit by persistence
Perchance a permitance
In luck and happenstance
To live this life luxuriously

Zen Mode

in darkness of the night
our auric field manifests
we are startled and apprehensive
the universe jests and tests

the happenstance was fortunate
coming as a wake up call
roots of conditioning go in deep
who we are, we oft fail to recall

Happenstance

Under the spell of Autumn and twilight
we encounter a pair of deer 

their delicate forms 
in soft shades of grey
poised for flight
a still life

We linger, transfixed until instinct
overtakes, and they flee.

All we take is a memory.

Flutter By

FLUTTER BY

The flutter of the butterfly
whispers in the breeze.
Perchance its wafting action
is more than a daub on canvas,
so dark and dank and cold.
It's folly to paint its flight.
it might be happenstance, but
I left my paints at home.

the spell of a pregnant pause

time passes, hands clasped,
afraid of what might happen,
clench tight on what's been.

eyes stare unblinking,
lest the sheer weight of mere thought,
reveals happenstance.

ears distracted dwell
on mantra seance murmurs
when will never end?

A Flash in Time

What is this thing called life?

Just a brief flash in time?

A rising dawn and then it's gone

With no more hills to climb

What does my heart believe?

Do I still have a chance?

Maybe I'll find here by design

Or just mere happenstance
