If I take this shard and toss it to sea,

Would it break upon a faraway shore

Like the tender threads of our hearts

Would it splinter and crack and yield nothing more

Would it shatter and free

The binds of our lives as we thrust and we trash

Against the trappings of society

Could it wander off on a new found beach

Discover this new joyous thrill, this idyll

Bliss in breaking the calm of monotony

Capture the fresh air of liberty

Or would it sink to the seabed, and settle in the sand

Buried like that tiny fragment of emotion we conceal

From the world which we hide

This paramount portion of us so easy to reach

So tender and meek

Encase it cover it swaddle it in the masks of our life

So never shall they see

Who we are inside

Thank you Margherita.

This is a simple reflection of my feelings, and it gives me great joy that this expression may be appreciated by one other than myself.
