Chance gives the lead in
A dense woodland bank
Being the instigator
I was quite taken aback
At how taken aback my tutor was
Today I have done useful things
Today has been spiritually alive
It is true
I may have lost a treasure
Yet also I have been set up
To take tack, along another track
Whoever you are
You, who are out there, we need you
There is much healing to be done
Bunches of fragrant flowers would be a start
For my part, a few words
That you may read, again, and again, and again
Talk, as best you can frame; of truth, of beauty
Press on, as well as you are able, with love
Happenstance in Heptonstall
