Moments Twist of Fate
Poetry
Moments twist of fate
Locked door opened by
A stranger’s eye
Forever the soul’s compass
Direction unknown
The wind caught pages turn
Touch my breath
Fingertips through froth
Clouds dip down
A wild impulse
Falls to the ground
At times intoxicating smile
Whispers across your face
A wave of open possibility
Captured in the sun
Wrinkled with bliss
Slowness a beat
Unfettered
Pines in the forest
Bloom without witness
A rare sight
Not missed by the trees
Wake of fungi
Underfoot
Stream so sweet
Tied together microorganisms
Shift through richness of soil
Loosened by stretching roots
Salted flowers
Covered with dew
Line the path
To ocean’s breeze
Find me there
A time too quick
Petals fall on turning leaves
All that is left is the memory
Of your scent
Graphite turns pages
To moments past
