arriving after the fire,

Kindling for a sorry heart.

an unexpected source of kerfuffle
who would have thunk it?
with all that fuss you'd think he'd tried to dunk it.

worried,
stressed,
tired,

covered in blue, gray
traveled,
destined,

as on the river of life we drift…

Unexpected,
Unthinkable 
But hey it's the moment,
Besides in the latter is a good story to tell and laugh at...

Miracles emerge when there’s an unexpected, spooky moment
When you pursue them,
Good luck doesn't sprout up, so don’t expect them to grow abundant
