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

About Author

Kim Van Breda

Hi all you creative artists out there I live in the beautiful city of Cape Town /South Africa but also have dual residency in the USA so spend a lot of time there too. I am a Professional Counselor and also a Regional Director for a Social Entrepreneur health and wellness company called "Mannatech". They are Internationally based and the most awesome company to work with as they support worldwide feeding of malnourished children with their products. You can check out my website to find out more about them, which is: http://www.mannapages.com/kimvanbreda However..... My first love and passion has ALWAYS been writing--- more recently mostly poetry. I love weaving words and expressing emotions, feelings and pictures in a poem. Happy to be on this wonderful site. Thank you Vijay. "A POET MAKES SILK DRESSES OUT OF WORMS"--Wallace Stevens

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.
