Surviving unexpectedness


Gliding into port on a gray and rainy day,
 I looked beyond the barriers 
 To the strange day that awaited us —
 So many cries for help: 
A forgotten purse, a misread schedule, 
A child’s grief-stricken act, 
Unexpected turbulence, 
A crack in the wall, and a frog: 
 And yet — it all worked out. 
Surprised, and grateful.
