Love in Moments of Joy

love seeks moments most 
opportune

stalk the sky painted in colours
bring to school

luck may have a hand 
for likes of a fair lady 
a jewel of a find
a grandmother comes with
lots of snacks 

to thwart a desire in business 
resolute with serious reasoning
a boy armed 
with a sling-shot

in moments of despair 
a splash of brilliance 
down the elephant's pit hole 
 
peppering thoughts 
of a mouse
insistence clutter the mind

pick a ribbon of hope 
for divine intervention 
uncles with a mop of shiny white hair
