Sunlight and Shadows


Puzzled

Life’s puzzle pieces, scattered round

One false move knocks them to the ground

I can’t decipher how they fit

Just when I think that this is it

A piece falls out – the puzzle’s split

It’s back to pieces, scattered round

There’s colors jumbled everywhere

A mess of green and blue up there

Small bits like flowers on the side

Or maybe birds – I can’t decide

What pictures in these pieces hide

With colors jumbled everywhere

Some days things seem to click in place

A pond, a path, a smiling face

But others seem like such a mess

Disorder, chaos, and distress

Dark shapes that I could only guess

Just how they seemed to click in place

But then again, what would life be

Without search and discovery?
