we are so lucky that
(someone
something
everything
maybe nothing)
put us here
and we’re here
right now
(i often cannot fathom it)
for i don’t believe in god
and i don’t believe in magic
(though there was a time
that i believed in both)
i believe in the
beauty
that we create
and we experience
and there are words like serendipity
and fate
that get close to what i mean
but it is not something
i must solve.
i am
beginning
to
learn
that the beauty may lie
in the mystery
itself.
