The Pull

17/05/2020

This thread that started

way back

in 2007,

why is it here?

There more before

all the way back to 2001

All lost in time

Messages in my inbox

deleted

and that ping

invisible even from the second it arrived

but it started it all

and it’s all linked to the pull

I see evidence of it all around

These random souls in my life

A missed bus

A change of route

Meeting a stranger

Who could barely speak my language

My brief case full of cards

some holiday snaps

of her and a family she

was brought together with a digital link

a digital link brought her here from 30 miles away from

where we both reside

but neither of us call it home

We sat in the bus on the ride

And for that half an hour talked

A point and a smile

head shake

a roused brow when

brought on by a naked lady by the pool

Who is she?

a man and some children

that weren’t his own!

I questioned

Why have we met?

Will I meet that lady in the supermarket and know. Warn her?

Our 30 minutes was over.

She wanted my number

I handed my card over

And thought nothing of it

But she called

Unlike all the others that had taken it before

This jigsaw of life

with pieces

Some fit so obviously

And other you put aside

and build the picture

Each piece leads you to another

and eventually you find wally

For a time you just have to wait

For some other to walk through the door

And fix the edges you thought were fitting nicely

but you had it wrong

You may have picked up the wrong peace and forced it in

and it all looked perfect. Going about your own business

Until you found Wally

So the search for the wrong one begins

You can get held up or delayed for a bit

You try but nothing is working , so you wait

For someone to walk through the door to help you

Or trust that you just haven’t met them yet

They will come when it’s time and be there

and may just help and leave or come back again and again

Those are the friends we will keep, we call them friendships

Random strangers with a dotted line to you somewhere in the universe going about their own business until they miss a bus or get off at the wrong stop

That’s where you’ll find them

Not all stay, some serve a purpose and leave and others

No matter how hard you try to run, they will find you

The pull, of even more of them around

Bouncing like atoms some positive and some negative that attract

And some neutral that are there to slow you down or speed you up

Only time will decide who will stay and who goes

You can’t force friendships!

May be in another time or a place!

XXXXX

My pictures, she didn't want to see them

If only those pings hadn't arrived!

That poem I wrote you

should it have been linked to that photo

was Is it the pull or

a ping?

Look what they've done for the thread!!!

I'm questioning if we should have seen them!

It's not right to have any more....

and our friendship

you can't seem to do without....

I don't think you should be in my life

Not like this

and so I am letting you go

May be in a-nother time......

Just Wait
