Life's Mosaic
Ideas scatter into a careening kaleidoscope.
Tiny fragments, each grasping at hope.
Rainbow of shapes lying willy-nilly around
Desiring to sparkle in life’s mosaic when found.
Raw, jagged edges magnetize into form
Puzzle pieces scatter around their norm.
Choose one colored piece and pick it up
Place the first chip in my loving cup.
Once firmly set, I shall choose again
Allow each shape to become my friend.
Bend like the willow when required
All the while staying true to the vision inspired.
Stand tall and strong as the oak within
Discard the heavy piece disguised as sin
Choose the sapphire triangle as the focal point.
Emerald, gold, rose, and amethyst become the joints.
