Something Wonderful

Something wonderful flew in the through the window

Just as the darkness painted the room -

A blue electric thunderbolt

Crackled its way as it danced across the floor

And lit every corner

The hairs on my neck stood up and cried

We are alive, it shouted, we are alive. 

Something wonderful burst into the room

And blew the very oxygen through it all

Then lifted me as high as the farthest roof

Putting me down just as kindly

Something wonderful came in through the window today

- It was a second chance

And it wasn’t unwanted

Nor was it unwelcome.
