IN PIECES
one slip of a hand
a loss of control
as glasses drop to
floors
smashing crashing blast
splinters hop and dance
their slivers on
floors
she takes a shard of
happiness in hand
through looking glass
doors
he strides in- gait tall
briefcase locked away
seeing truth behind
doors
behind
the doors
on the floors
glass and blood
restore

Dear Kim Van Breda, your lines artistically express that in life many a dreams and aspirations are carried by hearts, crafted as delicate as glass, with a fear that, just a small accident on the journey of love, and a mighty shattering would get unleashed. What sadly remains in the aftermath are slivers of lost dreams, and sifting through a few remaining shards of a few memorable moments.
