The Puzzle

As the sun sets it paints colors across the sky Time marches on and another day goes by I look in amazement and then wonder why Only to realize it’s much larger than I. My life seems like a puzzle scattered on the floor Some pieces are missing which ones I’m not sure Today I found some pieces I thought I had lost When you don’t pay attention you don’t see the cost. You only see the pieces when you really look Some pieces do belong while others I mistook But when all of the pieces join in together I float through the breeze as though I was a feather. I sit by the water it becomes a looking glass to me Mirror images of all the things that I see The light shines down and sparkles with delight It reminds me of how stars twinkle in the dark of the night. I see a reflection of the sky so blue and so vast As a cloud passes by the shadow it casts I see ripple travel across and then hit he shore My imagination climbs as my spirit does soar. The ripples are like my dreams that stay in the pond But when I reach out to people they travel beyond They are also like change as they differ in size The ripples are many things in disguise... A peace grows within though it’s time to go The more I see the more I don’t know The more that I hope the more faith shall grow The puzzle inside reveals what I’ve been shown.
