joy flits out of my reach

She was real to me
Until she fell apart in my hands
I dusted her off
And began again

Looking for someone
I knew not who
If I find her
Will I see her?

That is a great question
Bringing me to a quandary
I have missed her many times

Elusive joy
Flitting just out of my reach
More than once
