She was chopped into little pieces
She didn't, nor couldn't see the power within
pieces for him
pieces for her
pieces for it
pieces for them

He thought he needed to give away his pieces to feel alive
He found out he was human when all his pieces were taken
And he didn't have any more super-giving to give away
taken by her
taken by him
given to it
given to them

They stood still, looking, mirroring, searching
Aware in their stillness
They touched the power within, and
touched them all with it
touching her
touching him
touching it
touching them

With their Pieces

Ah this made me think of a puzzle, all those little pieces... fit into one.

In his mantle gray he walked one day across a shining floor and with crystal key in secrecy he opened an ivory door -J.R.R. Tolkien(T.Bombadil)

It's also like a quilt.  All those little pieces create beauty.  I like this.

Thank you Alison, a quilt, yes, even a quilt becomes one of comfort.
