Round 10

Pieces make up the whole.
A little bit of me and a little you
simmered in the stew of life,
stirred gently to ease away
bubbles of trouble just below
the boiling point.

Confusion compounds our every day.
Explosions just below the surface
are so much less dangerous
than current day suicide bombers.
However, the pieces and confusion
don't always mesh and can ignite
in a whole new way.

The highway leads us to destinations,
some familiar and some foreign.
When the bridge ends abruptly,
we wake startled from our dreams.
Shake away the horrors of the day
and move forward into the light.
A new and uncertain world awaits.
