Out of the Blue

Out of the blue, into the gray:
why do all things happen this way?
Those who are close stay in my mind,
but out of sight, fall far behind.
The world turns and before I know it, I’ve lost you - 
but suddenly, you’re standing there, out of the blue.

----------

A Wrapped Refrain of 6 lines, 8a:8a:8b:8b:12c:12c,
    opening and closing with a refrain.

I really enjoy reading your poems Jeff. And I love that you try new and different forms. You write them coherently and with seeming ease :)
