Something's Missing

Something's Missing

A young girl sits alone in a dark room with her head in her hands.

Nobody knows her.

She does not even know herself.

Do I write her story?

A lone wolf lets out a howl full of longing as he traverses snowcapped hills.

His pack is nowhere to be found.

Do I ponder his existence?

A raven travels through the night.

He flies even when the shadows are lit and the moon has been chased away.

Do I ask him why he prefers daylight?

Something is missing from this world, you say.

Perhaps it was never missing.

Only forgotten.
