Analysis of Puzzle's Pieces
Betwixt two lives is spread puzzle's pieces plenty
and deeply scrolled upon each one's lonely soul
the card dealt to one, shown hands on bright red button
life or death soon decided, at a moment for one and all.
Bent beneath the tops of richly marbled tables
draped with finest skeins of hand-woven satin long
rests the hearts, of two separate human beings searching
beyond horizons viewed from heaven's birth and home.
One truth thought will bring devotion's surrender
replaced can be the tortured, broken, staff of life
soul's cruel death will be at once averted
as caputred is it's desperate struggle to survive.
The missing soon do beckon out to all the others
walk into the new form of living, becoming two in one
words flow across the lines linked throughout all life
pressed for finding a life's freedoms brave new home.
Enter completely onto paths of passions perfect calling
form the bond of souls love for everlasting life long
view above you the one true natural fitted keystone
centered in a true loves arch, of life etched in gold.
Powerful is the word swept by future's unsure current
swirling vast throughout the world we hope to know
found is the precious love link soon bound to all souls
as two hearts once broken bind tight forever into one.
