By Chance or Choice

written for The Poets Place Cafe

To live by chance is uncertainty
The unknowing, an adventure;
a search for perfect harmony-
any path hindered fearfully.

If taken a different route
It would have been by chance,
but it’s what life is all about
not giving a second glance.

We prosper within our choices
accept the road we have travelled;
grateful for life’s alignment
trusting in our inner voices.
