Serendipity

By happenstance, I found you
               And my once empty, sullen heart
                 Filled to the brim with ecstasy
                   Hurray for happy accidents!

                  Dismally sad and blue was I
               One jet-black day, then I walked
               Outdoors, and voila! A goldmine
                      In the sky...sunshine

                    I searched up and down
           Terra firma for gold; tearing cobwebs 
         Out of long unvisited nooks and crannies
        And I stumbled upon a glistening diamond 

              I perambulated through footpaths
               Of life, just minding my business
                 Suddenly I unearthed a jewel
               Touched by the gods...happiness

             I treaded uncharted far-flung places
                Along the way, I discovered an
               Unsought hidden treasure...love 
                   Hurray for happy accidents!
