The Puzzle of Life
~
Life is a convoluted puzzle
Way beyond our comprehension,
Links within links,
Clues within clues,
Seemingly straightforward
But curved just out of sight
So that the pieces never fit
And nothing is what it seems,
Or the pattern repeats
‘til we think we know where it leads
And the ground falls away
Beneath our feet.

are we supposed to be able to fit it together, or is that a myth created to make us dissatisfied with our lives?

I don’t subscribe to the theory that we (and the whole of creation) are here by accident – impossible, for me to believe.

It make-believes us to think that found its clue but it always ahs a trick or two up its sleeve.

You are right, Sunamu. I don’t think we are meant to see more than just glimpses…

Frustrating (re your last comment), yes – but only until we let ourselves dive into the adventure of it all. I have loved working jigsaws since forever, but the puzzle of life seems to require a different set of problem-solving skills… 🙂

I just seem to get it all together as Brian (above) says, and something upsets the apple cart! I think the lesson here is to learn to be more flexible (hard for me). I also think it’s a question of ‘attitude’ and love your ‘dive into the adventure of it all’ because that’s what it’s all about! Tks Ruth.

It is very strange – and I like the line about the patterning – will we ever find the underlying mechanism? Perhaps only when we die, or not… 😀

Life always seems to take an unpredictable turn when we least expect it. Strange… teaching us lessons… or not… 😉

The perfection for me is in the not-understanding, in the constant wonder of every new moment. How awesomely rich life is! Well put Adeeyoyo

Lovely piece, Adee! Personally, I think if the pieces don’t fit, the puzzle was poorly made! Always shift the blame 😀

this poem excites me like never before. you have done such a wonderful interplay of verses and imagery. i like the way you compare life to a jigsaw puzzle board. and each one of us, have to live the days completing the whole picture. thought provoking, indeed!
