Providence
brings such joy
to my life,
one beautiful
mystery
I don't care
to explain away
but rather bask in
each moment
that warms like the sun
and cleanses like rain
we must've known
one another long before
in another time and place,
some speakeasy
or juke joint dive
where lives thrived
deliberately simple,
and were as full and ripe
with richness
as each second
shared with you.
