Lost

what was lost
when you spent our marriage
finding yourself
what was found
when you turned your back and ran
to another
man
men
god only knows
what was different
about you 
when you found yourself
you are a stranger
even to God

Perhaps the answer to all is your love that brings wanderers home again ... deep questions that celebrate our existential vulnerability ... only a great poet ask honestly ... bravo
