i'm a jigsaw puzzle
atoms from that star
dust from another
pinch of that quasar
a handful of 1,000 others
god remembers all of them
plus remembers the beings
flora and fauna that basked
in those stars' light
each one every one
i'm built from minute
portions of all best hopes
dreams visions joys
desires that span great
gulfs of time be in me
and in you why we love
eye continues to delight
in new light breath
beneath a sky that seems
inexhaustible as beautiful
as it was before
and will always be
there's nothing common
to anything seen
to anything felt
to anything heard
or anything sacrificed
anything gained
nothing can be lost
everything starts again
each day contains
kaleidoscopes of
every noble urge
ready to be cherished
