You never know 
What will change the world- 
a word lightly spoken,
 a touch from a stranger,
 a glance from a woman 
in a red dress, 
or a flower opening in your garden.
 What you do know
 down deep in your bones 
is that the cells have 
lined up in a new arrangement,
 muscles grown 
where before was weak and hollow,
 and when you woke up this morning,
 something else was on your mind 
because the old furniture had moved
 around to make room.
 A momentary alignment of planets 
has opened a door somewhere.
 You never know how or when,
 only that it means
 Everything.
