Together Again
when you went away                                               my
world cracked
you disappeared                               could
not be found
no explanation                      I
guess you thought I would understand
years passed                                                  
sorrow was my companion
you got sick                                                    someone
called
said they just googled my name                              there i was
my life was changed                                     you
were lost for me
                                    now
you were found
just like the shepherd who has lost his sheep                   even one
cannot rest until the sheep is                      found
amazing how one phone call                                   can
change a life
life is complicated                                                     never
simple
when things are not the way i think they should be        i know that is life
we were together again                                           two
hearts as one

Serendipity... one simple call can change everything and also bring things together...two hearts as one..that can never be parted
I love the words and the movement of the poem toward the pull of apparent destiny - (just a question I know that you work in wonderful geoform in your other mediums is this concrete type form a type of geoform? ... )
Thanks for this potent reminder that life is always changing. The phone call comes, and we hear the long-lost voice. The e-mail arrives, and we read of someone from long ago. We open Facebook, and find that someone we had forgotten has resurfaced ("brought to life," I think is the phrase that Dickens uses in "A Tale of Two Cities").

I think of the line "the only thing certain in life is change." I think this must be why I am almost-but-not-completely phobic about the phone. I really hate to answer it, for fear of what news it might bring.
It is a truly magical moment. One that remains precious and outstanding amongst many...

Ah, it's really magical, when one little thing can change everything...we need it remember when we want to change things..
Delightful
