Unexpected. Poem by Craig H. Stewart

The best things in life are unexpected,
Like a red tailed arrow, loosed in the dark,
Flying straight and true to hit the bulls-eye,
The mark,
The apple,
My heart.
A silver thought,
Born from a fearless void,
Quick like lightening,
Loud like thunder,
Unmistakeably powerful, yet pure...
Like the first sonorous cry of a newborn baby,
As she greets the dawn sky.

The best things in life are unexpected,
Like Charlies golden ticket,
Always elusive,
Vaporous,
Transparent,
Ethereal,
Yet one simple gesture can spin solid gold,
A look,
A laugh,
A word,
Your hand in mine and mine in yours.

The best things in life are unexpected.
