Life Is
A delicate dance.
Unplanned and unintentional
Unexpected or abstruse
Is life a game of give-and-take
A smokescreen or a ruse
Possibilities and prospects
Opportunities and occasions
Coincidence and providence
Ventures and speculations
The list becomes unlimited
Chance is everywhere
An accidental happening
Or slip down the stair
Mitigating risk, it seems
Is a delicate dance
A run across the dance floor
Life is a game of chance
I watch my chances multiply
Then divide the dividends
And subvert the unintentional
For speculative ends
Windows of opportunity
And serendipitous occasions
Chance can turn to good fortune
Long shots or speculation
Down the path of destiny
Each step along the way
Is laced with possibilities
At work and out at play
