Like a Puzzle

Alone with 

my thoughts 

that swirl, 

dip and dive 

I am comforted 

when 

they shuffle 

and regroup 

like a puzzle

coming into focus. 

Letting them play 

their games in my head, 

I can choose 

which to keep and 

which will serve

me in this life.

“The best thinking has been done in solitude.”

~ Thomas Edison
