My Life in Random

Random Items make up my life,
An antique sword or battle knife,

A perfect shot that only touches net,
A fingertip catch that makes the chains reset,

Imagination and all its grandeur,
A passage of text that helps my dreams endure,

A strong horse, broken to ride,
Not just a smile, but from the girl by my side,

A fantastic movie the makes me soar,
An appetizing meal, leaving me wanting more,

All these things are without connection,
But in me they come together.
