Missing
Slayed by a bear of very little brain -
his simple wisdom takes me by surprise.
A hole once sealed gapes open in my chest,
and all the world comes gushing out my eyes.
I didn't know that I still cared so much.
I thought that our goodbye had run its course.
The fear that maybe I had slipped your mind -
I didn't know t'would hit me with such force.
I know it's right to grasp for gratitude;
it's s'posed to fill an empty heart with light.
Perhaps if I knew you felt lucky too
then maybe my throat wouldn't feel so tight.
To ask, I know, would be a senseless plea.
But still I wonder - Do you think of me?
his simple wisdom takes me by surprise.

and all the world comes gushing out my eyes.

Author's Note
Away from home, tired, lonely and emotional.... Who knew I could be so unexpectedly undone by Winnie the Pooh??!

"Promise me you'll never forget me, because if I thought you would, I'd never leave."
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

Brava, Titanium! I am enthralled by Winnie the Pooh's simple yet profound wisdom I am, after all, a bear of little brain as well. My favorite quote,
"Here is Edward Bear, coming down the stairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin.It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it." A A Milne. Have you read the "Tao of Pooh?"

For some odd reason, I haven't read that, although I've often seen it and thought I should! Next on the list...
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the add!
