Something Missing

Trying to put the day together
but something is missing,
a word from a sentence, a part
of a whole I can’t quite picture,
just a blur, a shadow,
no more - footsteps hurrying
from an empty room,
a glance catching a passing rush
billowed in a curtain, whispers
from down a corridor 
that are never quite clear,
falling silent
when I draw near.

I call that getting old, which i am, but i like your poem, Paul. The imagery you place in my head, helps fill the void of 'something missing' Harry
