Luck

I didn’t believe in luck.  It was five long years ago.

 I was working down below  and next

thing I know, the mines started collapsing. 

 I fortunately made it out alive.  Only with some

bruises and a broken arm.  I do now believe

in luck.  The broken arm got me out of the

mines for good.  Weeks after the accident, I

opened my bar. Life above the ground is

not always easy.   It was all luck, but I don’t

yet understand it.  Why me? Why I am here?

I like to think that I’m here for the wounded,

the lost, and the confused.  I serve miners for free

because I understand them.  I understand

the life of being in hell, in heaven, and in grey

but, I don’t understand luck.
