I can’t seem to finish this puzzle
The blue of the sky has me bored
I guess I give up too quickly
Cause back in the box, it gets stored

There must be a way to get through this
Wait! Some of the pieces don’t fit?
How could I totally screw this up?
Blue is blue, isn’t it?

I sigh in frustration, or boredom
Not quite sure what it is that I feel
I need a new hobby to entertain me
Something with color, that’s real

Leaving my ennui behind me
I journey out to the place I adore
Forgetting about silly old puzzles
When my Earth gives me so much more

It is that time in life

When we are no longer agile

We bend, merely to break

That time, when we fight, only

To fall apart, back into the earth

Splintered pieces of who we were

Fractured figures, once grand in stature

Lying silently, among the moss and dirt

Life, when torn apart

And broken, over nothing

Dwells in disrepair

The last of the leaves fall

Like a swirling tornado, they fly

How I long to be one of them
