Serendipity

By Darshana Sardesai Shah

Just a while ago with conviction I felt

Life doesn’t take odd turns to create ripples

…while at this pelt…!!

But as time flew by, I encountered a Feeling

as Beautiful and fine,

that gave a lustrous shine

…to my soul divine

It had the strength to make me rise

with a catapult of joy,

…but also a Strain to realize

that it rather have a Poise,

It wasn’t Love

And not fair to call it a desire,

But ‘it’ existed with all its might

with all the tenacity and eminence

to make me Wry...

to want more of it, yet not wanting more than that...

t’was a feeling so Odd,

that seemed impending at times…

What could it be…I wondered…!

can give it no name, coz it could never have any.

Yet….

a ‘Serendipity’ of my life

is how it can be defined!
