Shattered glass



Lost I’ve found is the sweet celestial poetry, glistening are stars no longer, in any
nighttime eyes

Shattered glass crowding paths i may walk, stained splintered gleaming, ever bleeding,
unwanted memory so soft upon my mind
Unwanted memory, such it is that mesmerizes me,
Dismantles me
 
Defeats me

In the hills, between the trees I hear song within the moonlight,
Trickling down the trunks and gliding atop the leaves

I hear a woman’s whisper
And I begin to cry

About this poem
