Taking A Chance

We only really live when we take chances.

I watched him wandering

around Stonehenge

and wondered who he was.

A mystery

just like the circle of stones

standing on the bluff

overlooking the Columbia River

Dare I go talk to him?

Would he respond

or turn away

wishing to be left alone?

I watched him

and wanted him

in a deep painful way

So I threw caution to the wind

and hoped the magic of Stonehenge

would help me

I approached him

deep inside the circle

and said, “Hi.”

He looked at me

out of his deep brown eyes

then he smiled

and I knew

I had done the right thing

and he would be

mine

for ever and ever

amen
