The Puzzle - May 22, 2000
The subtle heat
causes the land to shimmer
as I wait
for the time to pass.
And I watch
the crowds pass by
looking for that puzzle piece
to finish the picture
I build.
In fact,
all I may be missing
are the eyes
for they carry a sparkle
unmatched by the stars
and when they twinkle,
I shiver with anticipation
and when they glimmer
with tears
I can only hope that
it is from happiness
and not sorrow.
