Destiny

It is no miracle

for Life to put us each

in our perfect place

For grand improbabilities of events

to make us converge

at the right site

and the right time

in the right readiness

to be the perfect gifts

for each other

It is as simple and steady

as the great breathing in and breathing out

of days, of tides

of heat that rises and falls

and vapors that return as rivers

to the sea

All these things accord with Life’s intent

to manifest itself, and so it does —

Our harmony insured

by what Life is:

Its fiat forms the worlds

and also us.
