In the rising of
a formidable antagonist,
that the power of
a protagonist has value;
whatsoever be its
physical or philosophical stature.

It is omnipresent, and
most often taken for granted
just by us, Humans…
Only when plunged –
even couple feet deep – under water;
that we dearly miss air.

They aren’t abundant,
but again; many a time
we take them for granted…
Only when they are
a cast in the past;
that we profoundly miss them –
people – the loved ones.

Only through absence,
many facets of life,
and of nature, show…
   how they are truly missed,
   how they are really needed.

And, more importantly –
   how we humans might lack,
   an altogether new dimension of,
   emotional intelligence.
