sometimes
just sometimes
the universe tumbles in such a way
that everything comes together
the sky opens
you are standing in the spotlight
disparate sentences become a paragraph
in the same story
sometimes there is soundless music
leading you
carrying you
toward an unknown point
a moment
where you stand on the edge
of a cliff
the drop clouded by fog
but everything in you says
go
jump
trust
do the absurd
go against your character
be unpredictable
a wee bit mad
it was a story
told by a stranger
in a church
when i thought the book had ended
the picture around me
narrowed
it was him and me
and his urgent tale
my heart raced
my breath caught
my palms sweat
and the rest of my life began
go
go
go
go ahead
ahead
move
walk
trust
a stranger
told a story once
and my whole life
changed
