the puzzle nears its shape
edges locked
corners sure
yet the empty space lingers

I press in fragments
shards of glory
splinters of gain
but the gap keeps breathing

only grace can fill the gap
shared through mercy nailed to wood
and placed by scarred hands

and still many search

“There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.”
-Blaise Pascal
