A play on words.

In the amazing
marriage of letters
down and across,
the cross puzzle of life
was not in the words
but in the sentence given.

Your poem is a clever way to describe how I've noticed (upon growing old) that what felt chaotic at the time (in my youth) is now laid out like a crossword puzzle, kinda tangled maybe, but with mostly purposeful criss-crossing thru-out! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

how much does fate play into our lives...
down, up and across...the words do add up to a sentence...and we serve it as our lives
look for the perfect vocabulary to describe what we are.

Plays a big part, fate, I think Jacob. Thanks for reading J. Hope you are well.
