Gone Missing


Gone Missing

As the new day awaits its morning sun,
the blank page for my poem also waits.

In stillness I listen for an inner voice, 
only to hear a deep silence in my soul.

Ends end from where beginnings begin,
but before I can end it I have to begin it.

All I need is that one elusive key word
to massage this pain of self-made hell,

this page containing only a promise of 
what may be worthy to be called poetry.

As the sun sets, my page and I sit,
still waiting for what’s gone missing.
