The man sat quietly thinking
why was he here
all his life tried to do his best
willing to help the rest
divorced with kids but alone
with few friends true
had tried to mix and mingle
in his sixties unfulfilled
with only memories sat alone
muttering in a sad tone!

She walked down the quiet lane
witnesses told the police
smiling and singing as always
everybody knew Taylor
a local lass well-known there
always a word to share!
A regular journey to see gran
who lived on a farm
at the end of old tinkers lane
gran waited as usual
never reached her destination
causing fear and frustration!
As afternoon became evening
the family gathered
police called a search began
by her many friends
neighbours joined in as well
but soon darkness fell!
The days became many weeks
no explanation found
mentioned she was eighteen
an adult not a child
to her parents their baby still
a void nothing could fill!
Hope faded worst synopsis feared
no suspects or motive
within this tight nit community
rumours then emerged
that strange clouds were seen
and a friend saw the teen!
Only for seconds then vanished
put it down to a mistake
caught in the emotional wave
forgot to mention it
but news outlets had moved on
the interest value gone!
Two months later she returned
Taylor came home
as her brother and sister strolled
into their kitchen
one Friday after being at school
quietly sitting on a stool!
Mum was crying emotionally to
she looked over smiling
that unique reassuring glance
as if nothing was wrong
ending up hugging each other
mum sisters and brother!
Eagerly asking the one question
where had she been
yet Taylor could not answer this
thought it the same day
of missing time no recollection
of anything wrong rejection!
The journey to the truth compelling!
