Cross Your Fingers...

Crossing your fingers,
hoping it happens,
wishing for that odd thing-
luscious luck -
preciously partial
loyal to none
for fancy or for fun.

Beneath the pillow,
on the window sill,
across the havens,
lying silently still.
Lady Luck busy as a bee,
seated on her majestic mobile throne
she beckons to all,
calling out to none.

Crossing my fingers,
twisting my tempting thoughts,
I greedily want all
that luck has to offer
not willing to work
not prompting to perspire -
Is that not what we all desire?

Luck without labour?
Only for us to favour?

Beautifully said, Shail! We each of us make our own luck, beyond the good fortune of living in this flawed but wonderful world to begin with!

Thanks Lynettek. We indeed make our joys and sorrows. Taking what we have for granted, that's where we go wrong...

I agree with you. I'm not sure luck without labor exists...

"seated on her majestic mobile throne
she beckons to all,
calling out to none." -- loved this!! I guess she goes to those few that work efficiently, and not just those who wor hard.. :)
