No Such Thing as Coincidence

You don't want to read this

What interesting timing this world shows me.

Irony or coincidence in which I do not believe.

I do comprehend all of the signs and symbols.

I am mere an observer of the wheels of the universe.

All things happen for a reason.

There is a higher plan in place,

Though we may not understand.

 

Stressful days drawing to a closed,

Life’s tide seems to change once again.

Shaking off the week’s events.

Head to the park with Miss Tori Mae.

All things happen for a reason.

There is a higher plan in place,

Though we may not understand.

 

Having a smoke away from the crowd,

Familiar faces pass by on the street.

Watching Victoria from a far.

I ponder the actions on the playground.

All things happen for a reason.

There is a higher plan in place,

Though we may not understand.

 

Poetic mentor and master walks up,

Looking lost for a concert that he is to play,

I asked him if he remembered me,

And his lecture I had attended

All things happen for a reason.

There is a higher plan in place,

Though we may not understand.

 

He shared his news of publication,

Upcoming shows in our area.

I purchased his book without a thought,

And we caught up on lost time.

All things happen for a reason.

There is a higher plan in place,

Though we may not understand.

 

He knows not that I eavesdropped on his concert,

From the safety of my back porch.

Listening intently yet unseen,

As I prepared for the coming day.

All things happen for a reason.

There is a higher plan in place,

Though we may not understand.

 

I read from his tome I bought,

Thinking how fate twists our lives.

I swig from my coffee and light up another,

And once again I realize.

All things happen for a reason.

There is a higher plan in place,

Though we may not understand.
