Pieces of the Puzzle

by Ronald Edwards   Dec 27, 2010


When young an innocent
the feeling is quite known.
The wholeness being one
is absent though Ive grown.

Carved and jig sawed internally
not present from outside.
When looking in the mirror
I want to run and hide.

Its like vitaligo
of the spirit and the soul.
Theres times that I lose patches,
painting on them to look whole.

Pieces of the puzzle,
dont always fit
where they came from.

Thats when Im dragged
along the ground,
forced in place until Im numb.

But over time these pieces,
somehow begin to fit.
I always have that one piece,
that falls out when I sit.

That one piece is the main piece,
most important in my life.
I hope it stays and does remain
to help me end my strife.

    Such a deep and intense piece you have penned.

    But over time these pieces,
    somehow begin to fit.
    I always have that one piece,
    that falls out when I sit.

    It seems we are always looking for that one piece that is missing. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever find mine.
    Excellent job!
