Bits And Pieces

Hidden in drawers

Are pathways and doors

To mindscapes and heartshapes

And times long forgotten

 

Under the bed

Are words left unsaid

Like jars still unopened

And nest eggs unbroken

 

Stacked up in piles

Are papers and files

With thought-crimes and love-rhymes

And hopes now forsaken

 

Back of the shelf

Are bits of myself

Like gems left unguarded

And rags now discarded

 

Stashed in a box

Are keystones and locks

To histories and mysteries

And fates still encoded

 

Left on the floor

Are clothes from before

Like clues to unravel

And notes from soul-travel

 

Inside some books

Are triggers and hooks

To dark-nights and wing-flights

And trips still untaken

 

Strewn on the ledge

Are tales from the edge

Like sparks to enkindle

And memories that tingle

 

Flashed on the screen

Are photos and dreams

Of sun-bursts and moon-thirsts

And worlds yet untested

 

These are the bits

Though none of it fits

Each a random played part

To turn life into art
