Broken

Broken

Broken hopes,
like tears of  bitter glass.


Broken dreams
like thin ice in spring.


Broken fears
like bare November trees.


Broken dreams
like bursted windows.


Broken hopes of tomorrow
like old tiles of clay.


Broken yesterday's memories 
like antique earthenware.

But who tossed the stone?
