An Inspired Poem: What Is Missing?
A quiet ache hums through the air,
A void we sense but can’t declare.
Not the clatter of progress or the rush of gain,
But something softer we’ve let wane.
What is missing? A touch, a word,

To bridge the many, to weave the few.
Compassion lies dormant, a seed in the ground,
Needing our care to grow profound.
Curiosity dims, though it holds the key,

Who am I without the whole?
I lift a fragment, light catches its edge—
It whispers resilience,
Another hums with hope,
And yet, some cut too deep to keep.
Slowly, with care,
I reassemble not what was, but what will be,
A mosaic of intention,
Crafted from chaos…
