Gone

i woke up today and a little piece of my soul was gone

i don't even know what it was like
there's just a dark hole where it used to be

was it shiny and bright

was it filled with many colors and rich hues
did it smell good and bring back sweet memories

was it melodious to the ear
was it steady and strong
maybe it was fuzzy and hard to pin down
or maybe it was dark and slowly blended into the shadow till it quietly disappeared

did it need the rest of me in order to survive

did i let it down
did i need it

am i less or more than what i was

am i still me

it seems like it was important or else why would i miss it

maybe it will come back

maybe it has left for only a little while

i don't know
i may never know
its just gone

i will trust the Gardener

the sharp shears and gentle hands

He knows
