PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I believe in synchronicity…

coincidences we discover along the way…

little signs from nature

that help define our day.

Yesterday morning on our walk

as merrily we strode…

I found a dollar sign someone had painted

in the middle of the road.

“Deborah it’s a sign!” I said,

“right here beneath our feet.”

“It means we’re coming into money

and we’ll live on easy street.”

“I wonder how rich we’ll be?”

I said happily to my spouse.

“Perhaps we’ll win the lotto…

or Publisher’s Clearing House.”

We kept on walking contentedly

until, around the next corner, I found

there shining right in front of me…

a nickel on the ground.

Deborah took one look at our treasure 

and said, “A nickel…how terrific!

I hope the next time you find a sign…

it’s a little more specific.”
