Luck

QUOTE

Luck is a trying a different method that delivers results

Javier Chua


how often do I bypass luck
by taking the well-trodden path?
I – the average of those who’d passed by
curse my fate for missing the sky

how often do I fail to fly
born with legs and a heavy frame?
wild thoughts – unsprouted wings
music asking someone to sing

how often do I skip research
conclude without hypotheses?
not trusting new observation
I stop short of inspiration

How often do I confuse
fortune with the fortunate
I don’t strike a pot of gold
just be bold, and break the mold
