Ode to Fate and Cyberspace
by Anonymous

I sat down one night to ponder fate,
and the seemingly cruel hand that
He had dealt me..

With my heart void of all intimate emotion,
I chose to speak out to another.

What began as a simple hello has now
consumed my every waking moment!

So many emotions,
long absent and somehow forgotten,
have revealed themselves once more.

The thrill of the chase,
the adolescent giggles,
and the nervous butterflies.
Questions, amazement and awe
at my new found treasure.

Suspense and anticipation of what is yet to be.
Anxiously awaiting the arrival of that missing
piece of the puzzle.
Concern and growing hope that the final piece of the puzzle will be a perfect fit.

Images of finally holding my treasure in hand;
looking, searching, exploring....
until I am certain that that the puzzle
is secure and solid enough to show the world
what a beautiful picture it makes when all of
the pieces are in place.

My heart smiles as I finally let go,
and allow it to feel such raw emotion once again!

I look up at Fate in total disbelief and ask WHY??
Why was this night so different from any other??

But Fate, always the puzzling riddler,
simply grins and walks away.....
