Maybe Every Moment's Meant to Be

May 11, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is motherhood in honor of Mother’s Day, which falls on May 14.

Today’s poem is a Mother’s Day poem for a woman whose children miscarried.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Maybe every moment’s meant to be.

One chooses in the dark and takes a path

That leads one to the wonder of what is.

How might one see another’s hand in this?

Each choice was a prediction in the past,

Revealing only what one wished to see.

Here and now remains a mystery.

One watches from one’s rock-bound coast the vast

Ocean of experience and bliss,

Deeper than the heart, wind-sculpted, free.
