Dot To Dot

All the information’s there 
But right now I can’t join the dots. 

I need a different perspective 
A wider view? 

Stepping back, I look again. 
The outline becomes clearer.

Dot to dot to dot 
I link each datapoint. 

Only one area remains fuzzy 
That final dot could be joined after next week’s hospital appointment.

Perhaps then the full picture will be revealed.

A full picture - a medical diagnosis. Those dots we don’t long to see but need to be treated. Congratulations on your 3rd place win in my contest, Nic!
