a serendipitous love

         
serendipity's blossom          
fell from the tree of lies          
where she was whisked away          
on a delicate breeze          
& then delivered into fate's hands          
         
chance had been unkind to her          
with petals wilted & bruised          
she turned from the sun who nourished          
closing in on herself          
lest she be carelessly handled again          
         
within the garden of hope          
she was the most radiant          
her glorious bloom          
called to many suitors          
with a song so sweet          
as to charm the angels          
 
shy fate stayed just outside the gate          
listening to her music          
in silence he mused          
she would be worshipped          
inside his kingdom          
         
with valor he vowed          
if she was but his          
he would vanquish          
all brambles in the land           
keeping her well tended          
         
in innocence          
she gave herself to chance          
& fate was deeply saddened          
watching from afar          
he witnessed her mistreatment          
         
insane with grief          
his beauty dying          
he conjured the wind          
then blew her          
from the garden of deception          
         
chance had brought her there          
& while in his charge          
she was becoming lifeless          
         
fate knew he didn't have much time          
before petals fell from her blossom          
he then scooped her up          
& fed her his divine water          
         
now safely ensconced in his love          
she again shone brightly          
her beauty restored          
he shut the door          
on her painful memories          
        
if you listen closely          
on a quiet night          
you can hear their music          
         
in a sweet tenors voice          
they are heard harmonizing          
her place securely beside him          
         
as one they adorn the tree of life          
in the garden of ever after
