Enigma

How can you miss someone
Who wasn't even there

What do you say then after the fact
When you've offered the best you could share

Why is the cord left unbroken
A tensile strength of steel

Why can't I let the thought of you go
As I feal what I feal of what I feal

Silently ruminating with one hand to the stern
Unrelentingly plotting a course favor seeking to earn

Knowing nothing is garnered
Given freely lovingly through love

Seeking good will wanting return
On this earthly plain and above

I believe in miracles open eyed
I seek them each day

You won't catch me asleep at the wheel
If one should happen my way

So I say my prayers asking guidance
with a heartfelt inclusion of you

And a wish for understanding as to why
I do what I do as I do
