Laab Poem by Bryan Thao Worra

Luck.
The spirits enjoy suggesting not everything is written down
Ahead of time.

There are mysteries for everyone without exception
In the secret books and ledgers of the heavens.

On earth, you can change your position and fortunes?
These hopes make life worth living.

There‟s a thrill of unknown possibilities,
Amazing journeys, an end to sorrows, new roads, new cities of joy
And spice

Vibrant as a Vientiane melody or a Vegas wink.

We can taste it. Crave it. But it still takes much work to make it.
And it‟s truly best when shared.
