Sometimes you lose it
Find yourself in a back streets
counting nickels to give beggars
Stop to help strangers with directions

A warm laugh, a baby’s first cry,
a mother mourning a first born
left home for his own happy marriage.

Jutting handholds
Shuttered windows

Willing them to the universe
Wishing on stars and blown out candles
