We'd like to be the jigsaw piece

that fits into the bigger picture

making sense of pointlessness

to make another life complete.

 

There's wonder in it, how it works

your future designed with that in mind

yet  it happens often without a plan

when you fold the fingers of another's hand.

 

Sadly puzzles being what they are

back in a box you go at last

leaving a memory on the cardboard horizon,

a picture to treasure if so you choose

 

with views of intimate spaces shared,

the pleasure of completeness when someone cared,

Lying back in touch with life

touched by love on every side.
