Serendipity
Serendipity
In the soft cobalt dawn at 5 am and some,
The sparrows have come
Alive, the crows know exactly what to say
The cuckoo calls out: it's alright to be crazy three times a week
Jasmine flowers bloom on the windowsill,
The murmuring pigeons aren't still
Preening and primping themselves,
Quivering, trembling, shaking away the drizzle
With confusing urgency until
The clouds, confused, they are 16 again
Trying on no less than 7 hues, brimming with emotion
"I just cannot decide what to wear"
There is no preemption
No call-to-action
Morning swoops in, embracing us
It isn't unpunctual, yet unpredictable
There has been no orchestrator to this chorus
The flowers always bloom, the clouds never forget to blush
They just know
And in all my memories of the future
I'm decked to the nines, body, and soul
When I rush to open the door
There are no knocks, no bells, no cues, no need for them
You are already here
You know
I know
