Missing Piece

You know this point?
Suddenly cognizant—
Aware of the entire
Nothing you know.
Indefinity—of being
Forever (maybe).
You lack assurance,
You hope, eternal;
A puzzle, missing a piece—
Of love, longed for
Always uncertain,
Never forgotten;
Of death, finality
Striking randomly;
That image, incomplete.
Indefinity—(indefinite-infinity),
In defined, finite terms,
Means you will
Forever never know
You’ll never know, forever.
So maybe we’ll never know
What we’ll maybe never know?
Maybe you will never know
My point, know you’ll never know…
That’s the point, after all.
I’m wasting time, working
A jigsaw set, keeping busy;
By the time you and I
Put the pieces together,
There’s nothing left.
