Gestalt

sorenbarrett

Eight billion irregular shapes

marked in different colors and design

No two pieces the same, every one special

By themselves nothing, but when connected divine

 

Will a missing piece be noticed?

no part can see its own influence

dependent upon the rest

giving meaning to a greater confluence

 

None alone remembered, a lost image to recover

Each pixel sits in space left by its brothers

forgotten in place of new bits and starts

Ephemeral it fits, providing direction for others

 

the whole greater than the sum of its parts

    The whole is always greater than its parts.

      So true. Thanks Gold for the review.

      a searching, thought provoking work, dear Poet
      (inching to pierce that existential veil
      while painting our perception of reality
      with our pinprick crimson legacies
      and thus has it been, shall ever be
      for in our glory, awaits
      our fallibility's reveal)

      Mesmerized by the words of your review that are more poetic than the poem being commented on. Thank you my friend.
