Another Missing Piece
( on the passing of a friend)
Like a jigsaw puzzle
Without a box
No frame of reference
Another bit goes missing
I cling to the memories
That time takes
We laughed and joked
Brief but comforting
Before we said our goodbyes
Scattering like Pieces of a puzzle
Poured from life’s box
To face uncertain thoughts
Of
Love
Loss
Tears stifled
We pack away these Pieces
Till the next call or note informs of
Another missing piece
