to wander is to be lost

missing since Sunday

she sighs when she sleeps

moving on

to who knows where

just one steady look-see 

just one focused listen

so long gone

 before that day of rest

out there

in a big world

willing to grovel

hitch hike

beg

wander

she's out there

 our little girl lost

hoping

dreaming

wishing

for that elusive

someday

...
