If persistence is the key,
then i have the patience of a saint
for resistance can fade in the face
of serendipitious occurences, cosmic coincidences
and sly inferences made from people you meet...
For it's easy for others to see how the pieces fit
when standing back, looking at the entire puzzling picture,
how something or someone can become a fixture
in the fragile bubble surrounding your life,
how a shared sandwich and some laughter
on some stones by babbling water
brought down peace upon me from above
like multi-colored leaves floating gently down
to lay upon the ground
as stepping stones to tomorrow
