Life is disjointed in space and time Most virile when most foolish Wisdom acquired only in hindsight Inapplicable to ignorance past And to shape destiny now revealed And souls kindred but alas in flesh Separated by distances and ages And barriers natural and unnatural Yet Spirit mocks not nor is futility For surely Life's flaws but apparent As a shard or fragment betrays a whole A whisper of what once was, or to be The anguish of unbeing but a promise Of wholeness far beyond that glimpsed But that glimpsed suffices for faith Or for rebels to strive with hands For earth and flesh is all there is And two unfitting fragments joined Soothes all brokenness' forlornness And to forget disjointedness' promise
