fractured
puzzle
pieces
scattered
all around the room
courage
honor
duty
mercy
silent as the tomb
waiting
patient
endless
senet
for life to resume

pieces
missing
what's his name?
power
judgment
what's his game?

voice speaks
hand moves
piecing
puzzle
one by one click click
it stalls
it stops
not right
what's wrong?
he sees this won't be quick

years pass
time goes
how strange
to know
(how long has it been?)
voices
echo
puzzle
does glow
this game he'll surely win

one piece
missing
stolen
long gone
how will he ever be—
courage
honor
duty
mercy
protective loyalty
piece the
puzzle
one wish
friendship
and at last he's free
there can
only
be one
answer
to any threat he'll see

watches
silent
unless
needed
then the games begin
small one's
safety
is most
valued
all the games he'll win
