Terrell Martin Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I slightly modified this poem today (August 15th, 2011) from my original publication here in "PS" about a week ago.  I hope the reader(s) find these new changes as I do - an improvement over the original.  Poetry is all about improvement, striving, stretching and this is a good example of that never ending process.  Thanks for your thoughts if you care to share.  Peace, Terrell Martin         

Synchronicity

It’s hard to say what strange forces play 
From time to time throughout our lives;
Some call it a coincidence 
When separate occurrences collide.
It’s that funny feeling in the pit of your being
An event’s about to occur;
When sure enough the doorbell rings 
And there stands him or her.
You haven’t seen in fifteen years 
More or less in days or hours;
And the dream you had the night before
Revealed those same gardenia scented flowers.
Brought forth just to give you
A gesture of friendship and love;
Could it be that what we see is 
Synchronicity from above?

And if you’ve felt the inclination
To follow a particular path
With no reason at all except for a call
That only silence could grasp.
Where logic and reason went out with the seasons 
When nothing remained but chance;
And you discovered a treasure beyond all measure
Could it be the synchronicity dance?
Or something you found at the right time somehow
That spoke to you right as rain:
There’s a reason you discovered it here and now
In a way words can’t explain.
If a pen or a book a laugh or a look
Picture, poem or song 
Reverberates deep inside your soul,
Synchronicity’s come along.

Cloud Andante August 15, 2011 at 9:10 AM My, this is a piece that is unique from anything I've read before. An interesting subject. The rhyming was very unforced, so the flow of the poem was natural and laid out neatly. I enjoyed this poem, Terrell. Very nice work. (I'd also like to give thanks for the kind comment on my poem. I appreciate it.) _Cloud
