The Lid

Life comes in a box,

With no image on the lid.

Fragments that fit together,

With an overview partly hid.

Shapes with peripheral structures,

Each doubtless designed to fit.

Their allocated placements

Emerging bit by bit.

Much of it invisible,

No matter how keen the eye.

Gaps emerge that we cannot fill,

Appearing by-and-by.

Are all the pieces present?

Could one be on the floor?

Or slipped between the cushions?

Or has it gone forevermore?

Like some occluded mosaic,

Unseen, it may change its form.

Bits fading to transparency,

Some straying from the norm.

We know so little about the box,

With fragments that make the whole.

Odd shapes of a random nature,

Leading to an unknown goal.

Is there something here to solve,

That brings both grief and mirth?

Leaving only what is known…

The lid comes off at birth!
