PURE LUCK

Alone

wandering

searching for some shelter

searching for some comfort

in this crowded world

till I dared to gamble

With a good deal of cards

Paired cards Straight hearts

Straight flashes

As luck would have it

A victor in love!

But the next tum of cards

took the fortune l just had

by a bet with a weak hand

paired card lost its value

straight heart

beating ceased

I fell hard and

made a landing space

of stakes

born loser!

Still I loved

and loved and dared.

Like a gamester who risks anything of value

to play at any game of chance for stakes

with uncertainty

I gambled all

all and all

Alone

wandering

searching for some shelter s

for some comfort

in this crowded world

Remember

to set the cards wisely

to bet on hope

and to venture on good fate.
