The Enigma's Rhyme



In this grand voyage we undertake,
Through the tapestry of time we break,
We learn, we grow, we rise above,
In this enigma we call life, we find love.

Within this puzzle, missing pieces reside,
Awaiting discovery, by fate we abide,
Never fully complete, forever yearning,
In this riddle of existence, our souls keep turning.

I surrender, humbled, to life's decree,
In defeat, I offer my heart willingly,
Oh, unravel me, solve this intricate maze,
Complete the puzzle, end this endless chase.

For life is a poem, with rhymes unseen,
A symphony of moments, the places we've been,
So let us embrace its whimsical rhyme,
And find solace in its rhythm, in its time.
