Question: What happens when something's missing!?
A piece appears to be missing
that renders my puzzle undone
an important ingredient lacking
as I wait for the rising sun

once perfect set now broken
one item which cannot be found
like toting that proverbial bucket
with hole all seeps to the ground

I spin around in desperate search
reaching for what I do not know
that single thing to hold like glue
and stop my essence its flow!.

Our lives can be as simple as a 20-piece puzzle, or as complex as a 5,000-piece puzzle!. Most of us only manage to fit a few pieces together here and there, and after awhile form whole sections together in a few places!. But one never really sees the whole picture until the entire puzzle is completed!.

A few song lyrics come to mind:

I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables

They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I wont get to get what Im after
Till the day I die

-Pete Townshend

One feels it as something which has been gouged from inside!. Its' centre; the solar plexus stretching as a void around!.
An Emptiness that one imagines a hand will involuntarily reach into
to grasp what seems a missing heart!.
You feel lighter, as if before a fainting spell,
And do not trouble to look around for any arms that will receive you!.
It is a kind of wish for the relief of death!.
It is a kind of wanting eternal sleep - because a grounding weight
which once was there, has been stolen away, while you'd not noticed!Www@QuestionHome@Com
