Have you ever been touched by someone who has inexplicably left your life? Do you know someone who went missing? Share your stories here, please retweet and repost this and share this on facebook.
Emma Fillipoff is a case in point. I was so touched by the documentary (Watch it below) and her mother’s dedication (https://www.facebook.com/shelley.fillipoff) to finding her daughter!
This poem is dedicated to Emma. Thousands of Canadians and Americans go missing every year. What can we do to help? Spread awareness. What are the signs that a person is vulnerable to running away or feeling isolated-alienated? Recognize these, and reach out. It could save a family, from a daughter running away. It could save a senior citizen, from taking their own life…
Missing Person
You have gone missing and
I miss you, trapped inside
The alienation you must have felt
I keep listening
for news of you dear
Though I know all souls
Are in the end the same energy
You have gone missing and
I miss you, your photographs
Burn in my imagin-admiration
For the woman you became
We are all geniuses inside
But in missing you
It’s becoming more clear
Who you are, who you are to me
I’m tired of theories about
What happened to you
Or the last place you were seen
You have gone missing,
But you live on inside of me.
Emma turns 29, on January 6th.
