Celeserendipity

A celestial yard sale: replacing the old with the new.
Serendipity is borrowed deja vouz from a future unknown
Just trying to get by is all he ever knew
He searched years and miles and mountains alone.

Foreshadowing trees unseen for the forest green
And brown and full of mystery and history and dark
Blind obedience to laws casting light on flaws
Words written in minds and hearts on Halloween
Written on scrolls on leaves on paper on bark.

Should've seen it coming, feet green and running
Soiled with grass wet with evening dew
Wet with sweat and tears that never stop coming
And with thoughts of wondering what to do
Next, wondering what to do if and when,
What if she kisses me back... what then.

We walk with fingers folded together hand in hand
Not worried about the salt water soaking our toes
Not worried about the weather or the sand,
When our lips meet, our breath is one,
Serendipity leaves us silent in two minds and one heart
A gentle, fierce embrace says we can never be torn apart
And as sure as the waters flow: i'll never let you go.
