...Missing Link, Missing Something, Missing Someone. Poem by RIC BASTASA

there is no
such thing as you

can have everything
there is always something

missing: a link, a key,
a thought,

always, always something
is slipping

on the tongue, someone
you love

sometimes forgotten,
someone you miss is

left alone, there is
no such thing as the

complete me, as always
there is an emptiness

which you say, can only
be filled by God, can

only be taken, and
returned and found by

God, and sometimes it
is God which is missing,

forgotten, left out,
unfound, uncalled.
