It's In the Missing

Tuning in
On a daily basis
To what's really going on
I mean, really going on

Bigger than world affairs
Or the greatest greater good

What is really passing through
As valuable information
Connected to feelings
Tied inexplicably to memory

All this exposes horrific conclusions:
You are probably under appreciated

Until you leave
And, in your absence
With so much else flooding the senses
It is easier to imagine you
Filling up the space

And in this way
You are made to be more
More than is reasonable

And, in these moments
Your value is truly assessed
And you become worthy

After all this passes
I mean, all of this
Whatever is left
Would be wise to remember --
It's in the missing
