He’s gone – Weekly Writing Challenge #59

Five Words: [ GONE – SENSE – TRACE – VOICE – PATH ]

for what sense it is when he’s gone
not even a trace seen from path
I keep hearing his voice at dawn
for what sense it is when he’s gone
aloud in a whisper – begone!
and I used to have what he hath
for what sense it is when he’s gone
not even a trace seen from path*
