Shards Of Glass

"a few words about broken dreams"

Font Size

It is all just broken shards of glass now.
The colors that shone so brightly are dull and dead.
The patterns had made such beautiful images, how I miss them.
Each image was a promise of endless bright days and nights to come.

Now it’s just a jumble of jagged lines.
There is no one with me to hear, but I bravely speak.
“I should pick them up, try to clean up the mess.”
I try, but they cut me, and I bleed, and my heart cries out.

Soon, I am just sitting among them again, cursing my weakness.
The stained glass window colors were so beautiful;
they shimmered in so many ways.
They promised endless bright days and nights to come.

Each fragment was part of a whole that was to be
an eternal image of love and beauty and meaning.
Now they are just colorless and cold, sharp dead things.
I must leave them alone unless I want to spend my days and nights in sorrow and pain.
