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         
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.

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
