When Love Returns Unexpectedly: Unraveling the Mystery in Christine Emmert’s Poem
Isn’t it something how rejection sends you spinning out to distant shores, only for fate—or stubbornness—to drag you straight back home? This poem captures that wild loop of being cast away, yet returning not defeated but dazzling—like an ocean wave that refuses to retreat quietly. It makes me wonder: why do we often sprint back toward the very hand that shoved us away? Maybe there’s a strange magnetism in broken bonds, or perhaps the heart just doesn’t get the memo when it’s time to let go… Either way, this piece is a vivid reminder that not all returns signal surrender—sometimes, they scream resilience.

You tossed me out
over the seas
to toe the wide waves
to next shoreline.
But I returned
to dazzle you,
straight back
to the hand
of the rejecting lover.
