Somewhere,
\nwhere conflagrations live,
\nI will tell you of mine.
\nHow a small action kindled fate.
\nHow a flash circumstance
\ncaught the curtains on fire.
\nHow a storm stomped with heavy boots
\nover the field of my life
\nand the earth was flattened,
\nready for a new city.
\nThe courses of its rivers were changed.
\nShadows became substances.<\/p>\n
Chance became the silk of destiny,
\nand I found a love like gossamer
\nfalling from the sky.
\nA quivering strand of fate
\nwith a star crossed path,
\nwind driven from its fire.
\nA blind encounter
\narranged for Mary and me,
\na love at first sight,
\nblazing like fireweed
\nover the heart.<\/p>\n
Who could have imagined
\nhow the future comes about like this?
\nThe remarkable children,
\nthe intensity of dreams.
\nThe canyons and sloops
\nof tears and happiness.
\nSuch beautiful faces.
\nSuch enormous souls.
\nLimitless distances and horizons
\nof unbelievable course,
\nbut so it was.
\nSo it happens.
\nThe star of every morning\u2019s light.
\nTime following its roads,
\ntruth as we are living it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
