The Unmissing

What is the missing?
Is the missing a feeling?
Can you remember the feeling you are missing?
If you don’t remember, then what is the missing?

Is there something behind the missing?
Is it the feeling?
The feeling you felt that was so real,
Are you not feeling it now?

Would the missing feel so strong,
If you felt new feelings?
Why is the missing,
If you are feeling it still?

Is the missing for the future?
Can you not feel the past?
Is the past not here now?
Do you feel the future?

What are you feeling?
Is the missing the feeling?
Is the feeling here?
Is the missing the messenger?

The missing alights
On the windowsill
Of consciousness
And whispers

You are there right now
You are here right now
You are feeling right now
You are not missing
