Freeform

It sprawls without boundaries

Mixing and matching the matchless contortions

Maligning its meaning, the interlocking pieces

That just don’t fit. Turned upside down

So you can’t see the picture,

Can’t match the colors.

Where are the corners in this portrait puzzle?

Show me the borders. I’ll find the rest

As time permits and patience allows,

If patience enters the picture at all.

Who cares if it’s flawed, in need of perfection?

Who holds up the mirror expecting to find

Not a sign of a blemish, a scar, an enigma?

Let washed away tears stain all yesterday’s sorrows.

Tomorrow’s the promise,

The ultimate prize.

It comes without knowing, a constant

Companion. The only thing sure in this free-form existence,

This life, this cathedral.

Today is what brings us to hope for tomorrow.
