Lost connections are so very, very, VERY frustrating

All the more when it occurs in the middle of knowing

Someone you feel you may have a great kinship with

For they have shown themselves to be able to give



Understanding, warmth, compassion and even humor

For they're willing to be on a par with you & your

Ability to communicate in so complete a fashion

For you do so openly, honestly & without trashing



Anything anybody says in any way - for you're pure

Something you've come to be - as you have matured 

For realization has come there are many persons

Who deserve respect no matter what they're missing



And if you then lose your connection with them

You might never ever again have a chance to hem

Up the seams around edges of cloth you've weaved

And realization comes you now have been relieved



Of the chance to complete a wonderful piece of work

Which you did start before the break made you shirk

Through no fault of your own for you'd been cut off

And then you wonder whether you'll ever be so soft



And so immersed in such complete feelings of wonder

Which you felt as you did with spell become under

And so you did then cry out in such complete angst

For something did get in the way of your thanks



Of being so completely immersed in your connection

That you tried so hard to get back to the confection

Which held you in such a firm hold with its sweetness

That you did want so much to become one with meekness



Which held you in static position as you became immersed 

In the limbo which was yours without any line rehearsed

And then as things seemed to be bounding along nicely

All of a sudden the break interfered as you priced the



Value of a wonderful new relationship, budding blossoms

And then it happened ... and you felt like pc tossing

Will there ever be a time - when this will not happen?

One wonders why it never occurs on walls which snap in



To place so we can use them to deliver our good thoughts

On things as diverse as love, nature & feelings which ought

To put some perspective on the very need for this opus

For now we must realize this situation is not hopeless ...
