Serendipity
Our date
with fate,
improbable, but true.
Dreams long overdue,
serendipity times two.
Talking, our hands clasped,
how swiftly hours passed!
Our commonalities so vast,
soulmates meeting at last!
Forever calls, and heart replies.
Story emblazoned on the skies.
You are everything I fantasized:
Gazing into each other’s eyes,
together growing old and wise.

Hello, fellow bloggers. I am still involved in some longterm projects, so am not responding to as many emails as I would like. I will be sharing some results of these projects soon. Also, there are some technical issues to deal with. I know I am not the only one with this problem! Please be patient with me. Thank you so much. ❤
