I had no knowledge from where it came I had no forewarning of this tale to tell But the stone lay shimmering across my path Lying in tall grass parted for my way A walk I took to clear my head To breathe in fresh air and dim the pain in my head Shallow sunlight streaked across the morning sky Crickets, chirping birds, and civilization all creeping at that hour Past the deserted park and over gently-sloped hill Right ‘round the corner, across the sunken ditches I walked to walk and walked to blank my brain Suddenly, Sky's eye rose slightly higher Gave way to royal goitered rays slicing the air I saw it, laying there I saw it! The stone called me by name! I was blinded, emboldened Drawn to quaking power My feet surged forward My hands outstretched God I am among men! Emperor I am among Kings! This stone I have grabbed and this stone which is my own Is the stone by which the world will fall Fall to my influence, my conquest My desires Gravity brought me back to Earth The sound of broken silica quietly folded into the morning buzz Hiding in plain sight, making itself unknown in the sunlight The rock was slipped from my hands and gone from my life Back over sunken ditches, left to turn Slinking down the hill, back through silent playground I returned again to my former life Serendipity no longer my name

For Sake of Serendipity
I had no knowledge from where it came I had no forewarning of this tale to tell But the stone lay shimmering across my path Lying in tall grass parted for my way A walk I took to clear my head To breathe in fresh air and dim the pain in my head Shallow sunlight streaked across the morning sky Crickets, chirping birds, and civilization all creeping at that hour Past the deserted park and over gently-sloped hill Right ‘round the corner, across the sunken ditches I walked to walk and walked to blank my brain Suddenly, Sky's eye rose slightly higher Gave way to royal goitered rays slicing the air I saw it, laying there I saw it! The stone called me by name! I was blinded, emboldened Drawn to quaking power My feet surged forward My hands outstretched God I am among men! Emperor I am among Kings! This stone I have grabbed and this stone which is my own Is the stone by which the world will fall Fall to my influence, my conquest My desires Gravity brought me back to Earth The sound of broken silica quietly folded into the morning buzz Hiding in plain sight, making itself unknown in the sunlight The rock was slipped from my hands and gone from my life Back over sunken ditches, left to turn Slinking down the hill, back through silent playground I returned again to my former life Serendipity no longer my name
