Puzzle

Almost 4 years ago
I found a puzzle. 
I opened the stale cardboard box
and smelled the new book smell
held in the 4 walls of that puzzle. 

I started piecing together 
the image that became my life
and then I stumbled upon  piece 
Like no other I'd ever seen. 
It was beautiful. It out shone 
the sun and the stars. 
I was scared of this piece
How could I not be afraid
of the purest perfection?

I spent years working on the puzzle
slowly getting used to the one piece.
But then the puzzle was stolen, with 
only one piece away
from utter completion.
