Expect the Unexpected

I've been learning to embrace these moments, and really appreciate them for the amazing times they are, as these are what have composed both today and last Friday for me.


Expect the Unexpected

Anticipate those moments
when rhinos rip through your ceiling.
Await the dance
that turns into something more.
See that instance
when your world
is turned on it's side.
Expect the unexpected
and embrace it
when it decides to meet you.
Hug it like your brother,
and welcome it into your company.
Allow it to mingle with your friends,
join you for the holidays,
or simply jump out of the bushes
as you walk past,
catching you off guard.
And later
the two of you with guffaw
at the witty prank it pulled,
even though,
at that moment,
you could have throttled it
for scaring you so profusely.
And, at the end of the day,
you'll smile at the thought
of it taking you under its wing
and showing you
a world you never knew.

Enjoy the unexpected while it lasts
because you never know
when it will rear its head again,
sinking its teeth into you
and seeing what you'll do.
