Missing, by Maude Rith


I can’t find my diary
Not that I used it much
But I’m lost without it
Now I can’t write down a thought
Where are my quotations,
Records of the books I read?
That’s the only way I can recall authors’ names
I have a cover
But no paper
I’m trying to record one joy                                              
Each summer day
I’m on the edge      I get vertigo when I look down 
            I am
            lost.
