"Fortuitous Chances: Embracing Life's Surprises"
Fortuitousness, a whimsical term
Evoking wonder in life’s constant churn
As if fate could sprout from random acts
A paradox that cements the factsIn the complexity of daily life
Lie serendipitous moments rife
With opportunities for destiny
To unfold its pages of mysteryA stranger’s kind gesture, a wrong turn
Altering life’s trajectory, we learn
That in these fleeting moments we see
The extraordinary in ordinaryFor such happenings are a vibrant prize
An invitation to life’s surprise
Guiding us towards the unknown
Where we may make a place our ownLet us celebrate fortuitous chance
Embracing life’s spontaneous dance
For in the chaos, we will find
A design that leaves us breathless and aligned.
This is absolutely beautiful!!! I love it! I love how you ended it. It was so powerful and so wise. “For in the chaos, we will find
A design that leaves us breathless and aligned.” This is so true. Thank you for sharing! <3 Lauren

I believe this too. Life can be so unpredictable and can hit you with problems that make you think it’s impossible to get through. My favorite line in this poem by far is ” we see the extraordinary in the ordinary” well said indeed.
