How did I land

in the place and time

of you.

Our souls might

never have met.

If not for that

moment,

I would have

been so much poorer

than I am.

There is a richness

in happenstance.

I could have walked

on by.

I could have not gone

at all…

only I did stop, I did go

I did find you

and you found

me…

It was

and is

A struggle

but it was

and is

us.

And that is enough,

and everything.
