It's gone. I've looked everywhere for it. I tried randomly reaching out and snatching at the air, maybe I could catch it. I sieved and sifted, panning my mind. I forced myself to see things and acknowledge their beauty. I scanned the sky for cloud pictures. I got up and danced, but all I got was winded. I polished and scrubbed and made golden gleams and chrome twinkles. I painted my nails a silly glittery pink. I listened to music from long ago hoping for auditory clues which would lead me back. I tended living things. Cats. Children. Plants. I talked to the trees. Visited nests. Put away my bird book and simply watched the comings and goings at the feeder. I did every bit of laundry. I cooked meals and filled my house with comfort smells. I read new books and old ones. I took my meds and my vitamins. I got enough sleep. I did everything I could think of. Even pretending I did have it. But I can't find it. It's gone. Sorry.
