It wasn’t caged
it did not hide
nor deny it’s rightful place
It wasn’t new
it wasn’t found
it came through no new grace
It wasn’t yours to gift to me
nor any bodies else’s
But still I found it
though never hoped
to discover long lost faces
In memories I saw it pass
in fleeting, nervous moves
in lonely hopes
and doubtful moods
I clung to unseen truths
And only now
in silence’s maw
do I finally see
that one true missing aspect
was all that was meant to be
