Can you hear it?

Can you even listen for it?

Does it exist?

Or are we just too busy to notice?

What is it?

Can it be defined?

What will happen if we lose it?

What will happen if we destroy it?

Does it even care?

Do we even care?

Do you hear it?

No.

It’s gone.

Never to return,

Never to be known,

Never to be used.

We threw it away,

We made it leave,

We point the finger.

But it doesn’t help when there is none to take the blame.

We begin to search for it.

Are we going in the wrong direction?

Because I feel it moving farther away as we search.

Maybe we never had it.

Maybe we do have it but we can’t use it.

What is it?
