Mango

Like mango 

Spilling into the sky 

And the gasp that follows, our surprise at this splash of sudden beauty 

And under the brown skin of this tropic river 

Currents whisper deeper than we ever knew 

And although my eyes cannot connect the water with the sky 

My heart sees where they meet 

Tumbling towards an ocean I was afraid to dream of 

And this current is stronger than fire, or the stretch of the sea 

This flow was before us, and will carry is past ourselves, long into the mystic 

And so I sigh, and take a bite of this serendipity, and let the taste of the unexpected wash over my tongue 

And the rover flows, and the sunset glows until it fades, and I look ahead 

Amid the laughter of the universe
