she has her reasons to be sure, all packed away inside fairly safe, too despite their fragile surroundings one wakes her up in the morning a little one brings her smiles another makes her go to work each day, and there's one she can't put words to that hasn't let her leave so there must be another that makes her stay but there was one more, and I guess I'd have to say her reason couldn't reason anymore for now she had to find why they all chose to unbelieve. the finding grew unfathomable and her reason cracked just shattered made a mess all over the floor and as she laughed strangely and ran away she took one look back at the crystal casualty [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 02-28-2000).] |

Now I could be a mean O&O and wonder where this "reason" had been hiding... *G* or I could simply say sadly beautiful... and hand over the super glue. *S* |

I just love your poems! You have such a way with words...and the way your put your thoughts together are just inspirational... I find it so fasinating how differently people write and how it is all equally beautiful in the individuality...(if that makes sense.. )I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe...

Great poem, k z. And cheer up, okay? At least we're friends. Look at this way: it's better to realize something, be unhappy with the past, and implement change and make yr own future than to just stay in a rut, unhappy, permanently. You're doing the right thing. |

Isn't there a saying about breaking glass means 7 years of happiness ? ... Corazon, with crystal you'll have 77 of them ... |

Corazon~ Sometimes even 'crystal hearts' shatter. But, hon ... there is beauty in the pieces. Be kind to yourself this day. *HUG* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

The crystal shards left lying scattered on the floor Reflect a kaleidoscope of colors More beautiful than before. Only when it’s broken Do the lights dance across the glass The future’s shining, sparkling Let go of the past. Weep not for the crystal although broken, it has grown from a symbol of holding it together to someone shining on her own. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |
