I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

Missing

1
we walked hand in hand
now we reach out but can’t touch
do you lag behind
or are you leading the way
in another direction?

2
you come seeking me
‘I think I lost you,’ you say,
‘we lost connection’
I lean into your embrace
‘yes, I just wrote that poem’


Composed for the dVerse Man’yoshu prompt 
(though I was too late to include it in the list).
