Awarded:  SECOND PLACE

"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces" Once held in a glass heart Shattered On a rocky road where I - A free spirit Walked With shoes cast aside And danced in the rain On a sunny day Barely feeling the pain Of those shards That reflected their Brilliant light A thousand fold Through a broken heart That once was whole As the crumbs disappeared In the rain. ~~~~~

Glass heart perfectly describes the human condition, that is so far as the here-and-now, the social whirl. I really like this one, Lainie. Love, daver

Ahhh! A broken heart that is now on the mend. She sees the brillient light of a new life sparkling in the broken pieces that weere once the old life so she hardly feels the pain. Instead she dances in the cleansing rain as it washes away the pain. Brillient. Wonderful imagery. Filled with hope. Love it. God Bless, JB

This should have been number 1....what an amazing piece this is, Elaine....filled with introspection, pain, and brilliance. You amaze me how much you can say, with fewer words....(A lesson I need to remember, and too often I fail to follow your fine example)
