The ending came before the start:
Six loose pieces showed a lantern part.
Kaydence looked through round glass twice;
“We know the glow, but not its place.”

At Garden Bell Corner, all three stayed.
Only the echoing window strayed.
Aydin moved it near the bell;
One amber curve appeared in its shell.

“Near what welcomed, under what waited,
Beyond what turned,” the window stated.
The words came back in a softer tone;
No one yet knew where each piece belonged.

Emmitt set the window beside Chalk Courtyard.
A cool blue pane appeared, rain-dark and hard.
Kaydence kept the first clue in view;
Aydin held the amber curve beside the blue.

Emmitt moved the window beyond Barn Loft Pulley.
One silver edge returned there slowly.
Then he brought it back to the garden bell;
Three views now met where the three friends held.

They tried the pieces small to wide.
The lantern scattered from side to side.
They tried dark first, then brightest last;
The handle floated apart from the glass.

The chorus changed from echo to guide:
“Near what welcomed”—warm piece inside.
“Under what waited”—cool pane below.
“Beyond what turned”—silver edge to show.

Kaydence placed what felt like welcome.
Aydin set the still piece under.
Emmitt added the turning gleam;
Six separate pieces completed the scene.

Amber curve and rain-blue pane,
Silver edge, warm frame, base, and chain.
One lantern image, six pieces still clear—
Three true memories meeting here.
