The discovery of man

You and I – so different
Yet the hardest to assert
Is but our difference,
Like pieces of two broken puzzles
Thrown upon the earth.

Listen! Does one’s silence
Match the other’s words?
Are we half of the same man,
A quarter, or two thirds?
Guesswork, may it be, at its best.

Do you fill my hollows,
And do I bridge your gaps?
We will answer these in time
With definitely maybe,
Or certainly perhaps.

Think of an equation
That loses what it gains,
It knows of no solutions, no everlasting truth,
Like tigers lost in shadows
That briefly touch their manes.

But do not cast away uniqueness
For it gives you a throne;
Though it is an empty castle it is build upon,
I have always begged to differ that in this unknown
Must all strangers find a place to cherish as their own.
