Three Times Fate
Three times have I fate encountered,
the first a brash brush with Death,
as I drove body and soul into a pit,
screeching steel and burning rubber,
blinding lights and a fearful flip,
a crash deafeningly loud followed by a quiet sickeningly silent.
Three times have I fate encountered,
surviving the first few years past,
the second an unfamiliar face in a familiar crowd,
a friendship uncertain in nature,
but a love no doubt could pry apart,
a happiness not even I could deny.
Three times have I fate encountered,
the second slipped away so suddenly,
two and twenty months of blessed joy,
sunk by a moment's hard truth,
present words and actions recent that cut so deep,
better off having ended at the First thought I.
Three times have I fate encountered,
is there more, I wonder; and why.

Life is long and full...and yes full of both ups and downs. But the human spirit is resilient...it will prevail and rise to each occassion. Its not mere words...of truth and experience speak I.
