The superstition of coincidence

"The superstition of coincidence"

Outside of our ethereal bodies

there are no meanings

but only moments.

The illusion of regret

lives only 

within our hearts,

look long enough

for a reason

and superstition

will find you.

Forcing purpose to fade

and meaning manifesting

to take its place,

leaving now a moment

in the cosmos

forever yours.

So I wonder then

the meaning

of this sadness within my core,

because I know the superstition of coincidence

can give meaning

where there was none before.

I sit here with this autumn chill 

upon my icy cheeks

where it finds its meaning 

from my sadness

and know my suffering goes

unwitnessed.

And yet beneath this tree

among the falling autumn leaves

I find these tears of mine

mean nothing

but the sympathetic connection

to this moment,

serving as both memory and meaning,

but both do not exist outside my mind,

only the superstition of coincidence

has pushed relevance

into this unseen moment.

Where I exist.

Forever.

Unseen with only meaning.
