Mayhap

It may happen
         Somewhere far into the future.
         Who can know?
         Who can see what miracle of happenstance
         Might cause two paths to intersect?
         Not you…
                       And certainly not me.

It may happen.
         Lives can crumble in the jumble
         Ending up so tragically.
         Basic instinct of survival
         Kicking into overdrive will
         Still the pain…
                 Compensate to some degree.

What may happen?
         No one knows.
         Mysteries of life and living
         Vex our days, haunt the night.
         Keeping caution as our guide
         Makes us vigilant and wary
         Of the dangers.
         Keeps us reaching for the light.
