Unexpected

Love is unpredictable,
the greatest puzzle of life,
key to the passage of time,
a measure of forever.
Searching with anticipation,
never achieved - never found;
it finds you . . .
with electrifying chance.
Accidental encounters,
an unanticipated moment
where everything stands still
and the rhythm of time
becomes the beating of your heart.
True love is never achieved
 . . . it is a gift.
