Precious moments
Appear
In those times of synchronicity
When I spy you crossing a crowded street
Jaunty summer hat dipping low
Across your brow
There is an instant when I doubt the recognition
Of you dear friend
But then I call you name and you turn and smile
Bless life and these moments of pure happenstance
That connect us
We talk of so many things
My Mum’s death
The book you just bought
The Camino Way
Jasper lies belly flat
Beneath the table at our feet
And soaks in the peace that surrounds our meeting
This kind of sponatenous joy
Is surely now
What I most live for
Fleeting moments tinged with gold
Evidence that somehow
Somewhere
Those who we are meant to encounter
Often just appear
Out of nowhere
The connections of heart that are there
And life in its awesome wisdom
Often guides us
To the right place
At the right time
When two paths converge
And the union
Conspired by spontaneous meeting
Feeds us joy
Very well written. I like how you put authentic moments of your own life into it, like with your Mom.
Thank you.
