From the day we're born, the pieces of the puzzle called life begins to fill. It starts with the love from our parents and family. At some point everyone feels loneliness and sadness. We try to fill these blanks, searching for meaning. No one knows the future. Often humans are preoccupied with the future and don't take time to be present. This poem is about taking time to be present and looking at what is in front of you. Sometimes the puzzle pieces present themselves. If you let nature in, it can fill in the loneliness with joy.

I've always loved poetry. Growing up, I watched a lot of Hong Kong wuxia dramas. A common trope is the hero recites a poem to mark a moment.
