A Game for Young and Old

Life's jigsaw--
a puzzle of deliberation,
searching for pieces
in the dark of night.

Connect the corners
to create foundation,
methodically building
into the missing heart.

Image takes form,
stale dreams become reality,
A single piece, separates
what is and what could be.

In the palm of my hand
lies that keystone piece,
the missing link
to a whole, incomplete.

Yet hesitation numbs,
sweet outlook turns sour,
With the jigsaw entire
Life’s game is no more.
