It all happened last Wednesday

I flipped over the tarot cards

Fate dancing on my fingertips

Four of Cups

Ace of Dragons

Courage?

I saw it happen

The pillar of white light

The image engraved itself into my eyelids

I ran right through him

Nonstop

Like a ghost in Technicolor

Frozen in prophetic memory

The pendant swung back and forth

In the alabaster hands of my beloved

And I ran to him

Heart beating like a tribal drum

Then, last Wednesday, I saw him

Like an apparitional nuance

Of what was truly in store for me

However, this time

He was solid

And I collapsed upon

Contact with the boy

Somehow, I knew

With that fateful collision

I knew that I was

Beginning a new chapter

Of a magnificent journey…
