It Is Not Chance

.

Commemorate

The sacred places

.

Of beauty, memory,

and significance –

.

How else is meaning found

In odd corners of earth

.

But the human stories

Enacted on that ground?

.

It is not chance

That will elaborate

.

Each single human mystery

But acts of intention

.

Told, remembered,

Shared as history.
