Synchronicity

by Chris Sorrenti


our paths cross haphazardly in the physical world
and you’re that same pleasant distraction again

long gone the ‘what could have beens’
and despite despites
happily now I ponder
all that lingers    matters     between us

that combined sense of purpose
in knowing   accepting
who and what we really are
reinforced  confirmed in    
synchronistic realities

a secret only you and I share
with that great poet in the sky

A touch of irony here, balancing synchronicity and separation from one perspective of the equation, reinforced by white space v centering(?).

You toy with words that have such huge parts in the story of my own life. I love this, Chris.

My goodness I'm flush with embarrassment. Don't know how to thank you. However I'm still holding out for Padma Lakshmi. Sorry.

Chris, I've always been a fan of your poetry. A few of your works really having stuck with me throughout the years. Only today to come across this work as poem of the day no less, and I can say, I'm feverishly touched and inspired by this work. Thank you as always for sharing.

Ah, the longed for end to many of my own poetic pinings..and thus synchronously beautiful for being so. Congrats on POTD, Chris!
