I read my planner wrong 

Arrived at the wrong place, wrong time 

So I drove aimlessly until I had a goal – 

Breakfast for one

Waiting at a light

I spot vivid purple morning glory 

Flashing through tangled kudzu –

Glorious, indeed

Then a handful of butterflies

Orange in the morning sun 

Began a gamble throughout 

Delighting me deeply 

I messed up my start 

Yet it became a thing of beauty – 

A few minutes in a car 

Led me to smiles and memories.
