Poem: Such is the Way it Goes

Such is the way it goes
When it all seems to fall away
Into component pieces crashing
Scattering to the whistling wind
As we clamor to pick each up
Trying to remember where they fit
And always coming up missing pieces
Only to find it’s never the same afterwards
Each time the picture gets more unclear
Until we can’t even recall what it looked like
Eventually tiring of picking up all the pieces
Leaving them scattered in disarray on the floor
