MISSING
Missing
If one day I
should come up
‘missing,’
search a while—
ONLY a short time.
AND—if I should not
return, ‘seek’ me
in your heart.
Trace ‘our’ memories shared—
sacred encounters.
You know me well
enough…I’ve been
an EXPLORER of sorts.
You may think I tread upon roads I
should not have—
you might say it was
a mistake…
BUT, I’ll say to you that—
my MISTAKES (as you call them)
have been my greatest jewels.
THESE mistakes have
brought me to my
truest self~~~the diamond
deeply tucked in—
WAITING to emerge.
I found this…
trust I have—
fret not.
ANYTHING could happen
in life at anytime,
in any place.
Why I’m not here NOW
and you still remain—
I don’t know…
AND, does it really matter?
“Certainly, I’ll miss you,
yet, even though I’m so far away…
I’m so close, so close…”
