The Tessellating Life

Tessellate –verb (used with object) to form of small squares or blocks, as floors or pavements; form or arrange in a checkered or mosaic pattern.

A square of experience in a corner of the world

Is alive and exerts an energy of its own

One side, plus one side, plus one side, plus one

Equals a whole in its self and

An answer to the query

Of the fundamental understanding

Of the universe of men

 

Alone it pulses, it beats in time

Possessing a place for its self in the past

Existing, influencing all that it touches

Without it, we’re left short of seizing the whole

With it, we’re driven to build even more

Onto this world and the mosaic of time

 

It reaches and searches with magnetic force

To couple with a new figure equal in sides

The joining is electric and sparks something different

The process, it grows, expounding, multiplying

 

The neoteric it devours to feed its addiction

Nothing can stop this voracious force of expansion

But no thing can cause it to go on forever

With each extra tile, the novel reaches its close

And the depiction is distinguished in the chronology of creation

A distinct whole is left, the culmination of squares

 

A picture of life
