Serendipity


What seemed a rock is now a jewel. Your beauty was an unexpected gift. To ignore this gem would be too cruel, When the veil of doubt I’ve just begun to lift. Every new facet is a joy to me, Revealing bright pieces of the jewel I love, A diamond viewed without artistry Is still a diamond, but in the rough. I thought to see a rock, of earth and stone Not the gleam of a jewel well-polished. In shock and awe I stood on my own My presumptions now demolished So my love gives setting to your stone Each facet joined, each face its own.

i wrote this about a place in Chicago I visited. I didn't expect to be comfortable there, but it turned out to be a very beautiful place.
