Missing Element
Sails unbillowed by wind
A ship without the sea
Starless Night
Are as love unused
Music in need of meaning
Storms without Rainbows
Fallow Fields
Are as promises unfulfilled
Maturity depleted of innocence
Life without commitment
Empty Pages
Are as dreams unsearched
Death abandoned of faith
Labor without dedication
Perpetual Winter
Are as ideas unperceived
Intellect absent of Wisdom
Fear without Hope
Fruitless Trees
Are as friends unknown.
Lynne Milum
June 1983
