Missing Words

Missing Words

The canvas waits for the missing stroke
The symphony is one note less
As my astray heart wanders alone
To be blessed and to bless

As the singsong of thoughts
Carries me through the untried way
I feel a heartbeat amiss when you
Think of me, somewhere far way

There’s a petal amiss in the flowery youth
There’s a star amiss in the dark of the night
As I follow my dreams to find you
Eyes aching for the succoring sight

You bring me joy, make me a man,
Shape my shadows to form reflections
And when you are away, I am left stranded
Searching for the lost directions

I can hear the music but miss the beats
I can see the sky, but not the moon
I can speak but not hear my words
I stand in the crowd but all alone

I miss my life,
I miss my soul,
I miss my heart,
I miss my thoughts,
I wait for you to fill the gap
To touch my heart with a healing kiss
Even as I write my pain out,
For you, my words go amiss
