Scraps and scribbles from 1960 - 2015 |
| "The blue sky piece goes there", my brother pointed To a spot with an odd-shaped end. Quickly snapping the sky piece in He flashed me a boyish grin. Eagerly grabbing another end piece, Determined to finish and win I gleamed smugly at my brother and Quite suddenly our lights were dimmed. Sparks, sputters and flashes of light And then the room grew dark. In the black silent night we dared not move while Peeking through half-closed windows at stars. A humming sound filtered through the air, Was my brother was playing tricks on me, As silently we waited there? "Stop it", I said; "Not I", said he. I started to argue but realized The humming continued when he Talked to me. If not my brother Then who could that be? Light from the stars was giving us hope That soon we would be found. Our parents were only outside in the yard, But the doors and windows were all locked down. The humming grew louder, increasing in pitch We looked at each other in fright. What is happening here in this room on This dark and powerless night? A scratching sound snapped our heads 'round Toward the puzzle pieces we gaze and From the jigsaw pieces we see A purple radiating, glowing haze. Pieces are floating in soft misty light and Connecting together with synchronous sound. This musical muse and puzzle guru bringing Chills to our hearts in the darkness abounds. Our puzzle emerges in purple radiance bright We watched, huddled together in awe and fear, Abruptly familiar voices grow louder - Mom and Dad! We smiled together - our rescue was here!
