Jigsaw

These pieces, gathered together by strands of space and time
Laid out in meticulous fashion, every piece has a place and a role to play
Slowly assembled, carefully positioned into place
The puzzle is being constructed and the problem is agonizingly being solved
Every piece forms a new question
As each piece is positioned so new pieces reveal their placement within the grand scheme
The picture is nearing completion
The puzzle is close to conclusion
But there is a missing piece
A solitary section has corrupted the design
The picture is not complete
The end has not come
The achievement is yet to be achieved
