Serendipity

Like a Beatles medley
of endless invention and chance
life erupts in happy accident
as moment follows moment
tumbling in abandoned glee
always onward never halted
a chain of golden links
poured in perpetual piste.

Is it all then in serendipity
launched haphazard to no end
a fortune favoured forever?

Oh, there’s an end
and turning back
we understand
that all was for
the best.
