Luck Favored One
Chance favored me without preparation.

Trailed hazardous life stumbling
over serendipity
near the turbulent waters
lapping my ignorant shores
ready to consume a fool.

What were my odds?
the chance I'd survive ordinary existence
to reach its inevitable end
with fortuity?

Manifest destiny or fate
life seemed to be lived by accident.

Found love.
Periled lips still savor kismet.

Was it providence,
coincidence,
happenstance?

or did I just get away
with cheating life
because of dumb luck?
