A Picture Puzzle

One thousand parts
A picture puzzle
Piece them altogether.
Make yourself
A model plane
For flying in fair weather.
Six hundred shapes
Of pure azure
Make the playground sky.
Controls get set
Departure time
Spirits soaring high.
Four hundred more
Complete the scene
Each token to be found.
Beauty soars
But beauty dives
Smithereens on the ground.
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Fix together again.
Three thousand parts
A picture puzzle
A song that will remain.
