Surprise…
The occurrence of the unexpected
Destabilizing stability itself
Like the sudden disruption of a calm lake
Hit by a fast falling meteorite
Surprise…
A milder word for “Shock”
A sudden or violent commotion
For which even shock absorbers
Prove painfully inadequate
Surprise…
When happenstance meets unpreparedness
As when death comes a calling
On he who lives everyday
Like it’s his first
Surprise…
When the unimaginable manifests itself
With the swiftness of a blink
Goliath certainly had a surprised look
As he fell to David’s slingshot
Surprise…
A window to exploit vulnerability
Indeed by the element of surprise
Mighty armies of renown
Lie fallen by the sword of the weak
Surprise…
That component of life
That leaves you with a pleasant feeling
When suddenly you happen on that bend
You initially thought was your end
Surprise…
While you hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
That way, when surprise surprises you
You are as prepared as you can possibly be
Surprise…
