Puzzle

Dreams emerging from granite

Entrapped within a life

Lived only by numbers

Dots joined from day to day

And hour to hour

A puzzle without the clues

Vital evidence blurred by anger

Despair blinded those pauses

The notes between the music

Had remained unplayed

With broken instruments I toyed

To a past that I knew

But I grew weary to recall

Until

Inside the breath

I forgot someone that was

The face that stares

Back from a void

Because

I arrived

Here

Bursting into you
