A Pictured Perfect Piece

A Pictured Perfect Piece

written by: Cindy Georgakas

 

Puzzle pieces
Scattered
like mosaic art.
Some fit,
some don’t.

A game of chess,
pokerface.
Your eyes engage,
staring at the edges,

patiently

connecting in quandary
what others
might have missed.
But not you!

Eyes forlorn,
smiling
as tears of joy
taint the color
on the board.

Blurred
on the inside,
forlorn
on the outside,
each closely knit,
but still a misfit.

When slowly,
the colors of abandonment,
create feelings of adornment.
One by one,
the image
comes into vision,
taking shape
like the painted sky,
reflecting each prism
of illusion.

We click and capture
to symbolize
a perfect union,
if only in
a pictured puzzle,

where pieces fit
are pulled apart;
tucked neatly
back in a box….
until
the next time.
