We are pieces of a puzzle,
That is never solved.
A subtle secret,
It's mystery is unresolved.

Day in, day out, we try and attempt,
Search in untold and in mind's foliage.
Search for the missing link,
The glue which held us together for ages.

A puzzle we are, all of us incomplete,
From soles of our feet to souls of our heart.
And suddenly 'it' comes, blazing in,
Our life is upside down and it's only the start.

We never knew we needed it,
We never knew we wanted its presence.
But now we can't while away without it,
We now can't function in its absence.

Is it addiction? A fervor devotion?
All to complete our unsolved puzzle?
We seek the secret, for curiosity's sake,
The secret, the link, it makes us dazzle.

It overcomes us, it overwhelms us,
The secret is finally out for us to see.
But do we really needed it, we now wonder,
Maybe the chase of discovery is what we need.

Soon again, the puzzle changes,
The glue that held us together fades away.
The old link has went past its prime,
The search begins again as our mind sways.

Maybe we never needed the puzzle piece,
The thrill to uncover our mystery was what we did.
We search, again and again and at heart,
The joy of discovery still makes us a kid.
