A confluence of the most fortunate set of events

on conversations with Noel yet again. If I ever publish, I'll owe you royalties ...:)

It was a confluence of the most
unfortunate set of events,
that I landed
on your door step,

naked, and bleeding,
unaware of all the wounds,
raw and opened,

I dressed them so well,
I didn't even feel them anymore,
or so I thought.

I stepped on a few people
to make it out of the muck,
found you with a spot of luck.

                I fought,
                I wrote,
                I laughed,
                I loved,
                I cried ...

               the best parts of me lived,
               while the other half died.

And through
a confluence of
the most fortunate set of events,
I have you by my side.

What a wonderful story you told here. All it takes is the right person to help you see the things you might have been ignoring for so long. All it takes is the kind, loving touch of a person to help you rise above the muck and mire. So romantic. Kismet! Lydi**

The best of me lived the other half died . This line hit my soft spot . Its really true . Memories are always going to be there . Whether its good or bad . But we always prefer to remember the good and best part . Its also possible that the person took a special part of who we are so there will always be avoid there until perhaps another special someone fill that void inside our life and heart . This is avery tender and emotional piece KLG . Thanks for sharing.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you very much. I have been a busy bee since you last read me. I am glad it was this piece.

Me as well .. Stress and problem does the opposite in me Makes me compose more piece . Poetry is really the language of the heart . It bleeds from a wounded heart and flows from the one that is loved ...

Buddhist wisdom says one can never judge an event fortunate or otherwise until the whole story has been told.

Yes sometimes the worst things land you in the best places
