PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There is something missing from my day.
I've looked  but I cannot find it;
an elusive  mysterous  quality;
altogether pleasant and comfortable.

Senses tuned  an eyebrow raised;
half expecting something -- but what?

Wait; a breeze wafts through  
pleasant and comfortable  but....
not the same; somehow empty.
Distracted  annoyed.....
I return to my work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is someone missing from my day.....
Looking won't help  for I have stepped away.
The banter and happiness  out of reach,
but comfort and joy in the distance wait.

A thought enters my mind
like a *soft* touch on the shoulder
Did I hear my name on the wind?
A playful  teasing voice?  
mimic'd by the rustling leaves.

Annoyed and impatient....  
my return home delayed.
