DM Babbit Poet Free verse

Encounter

I've seen it before, lovers long parted
 gone their separate ways, forgotten over the years
 lost in time;
on occasion as if destiny waits
 a connection slips thru the hourglass, floods of memories return
 and the heart reconnects;
just for the moment, the brief encounter surges
 old feelings and emotions, experiences and memories
 rise to embrace the encounter;
then in a second
 the moment passes, 
 lost in the cloud of having been.
