Destiny's Embrace

Through all of my endeavors,
Seemingly endless pursuit of happiness,
Given artificial & pernicious companions
By the righteous hand of Destiny.
I feel I am deserving of my own likeness,
That ardent demeanor to appease the void.
Then Destiny agrees...
Unknowingly, she sends the eyes that captivate;
Followed by an aura of immense knowlege & understanding.
Not repeating the superficial surface of my past.
One cannot contrive such & permeate my brain,
                                                       my thoughts,
                                                       my breath.
Could Destiny finally have given in?
My present condition, surreal.
She understands the importance of my character,
Empathetically delivering to me one who does not swelter,
But praises that which I am.
Every day is a test;
His actions, my content...
Surpasses all that I have endured.
I AM ELATED!
Destiny is unpredictable,
This I used to fear.
For this unexpected congruence to end,
I could not fathom.
Yet even in ending, the fullness I have felt
Will forever be appreciated.
I have met my ardent demeanor,
I now have known happiness.
