A Piece of the Puzzle
The warmth of a winter’s sun
comforts the cockles of ones heart as
they lean into the rays of splendor
A spray of moisture touches their cheek
bringing one to a reality of life’s movement
figures gliding to and fro with a whisk of urgency
Holding on to eternal comforts woven within
carefully placed deep inside the human coils
the movement is gulped to be silently saved
A moment of satisfaction grasps the event
urging a joyful acknowledgement to another as the
passerby rushes to live a moment longer capturing…
a piece of the puzzle in life
