An absence
a vacancy;
an empty hole
where nothing
fills
what nothing
ever can.
What could have been
lies unfulfilled,
unlearned,
unknown.
What is,
is left to struggle,
unaware in its
diminished capacity
that it barely survives;
as the world that
should never have been,
creates a half-life.
Poignant words Carolyn. Even the fulfillment is transient, and mourned, but perhaps our souls learn more sometimes through lack as we think more on this and learn its wisdom. You inspire me for one : o) Shaun.
