The riddle stands the test of time
one or many will take their shot
with the former inadequate
to the task brought by God
spun from fabric most deny
feathers falling from the sky
weighing more than far mountains
the end results condemns despair
the solitary has little chance
to resolve mystery’s vex
stumbling in the details tossed
or consumed by the whole
insight may come to the one
then the shoulders take the weight
stooped against the universe
magnified in its full scope
back to the many that may help
lending hands to move the weight
when the hidden can be found
then lifted high as manifest
to embody the Lord’s task
challenge met then overcome
I’m a piece in puzzle’s face
solving riddles with the whole.

“All The Pieces” was inspired by a friend’s social media remake, “Let’s all be pieces solving the puzzle’. The end result can be read several ways. Any movement is made up of small pieces coming together to help solve a puzzle.
