Broken Crayons

All of these broken half eaten crayons 
walls decorated with mindless nibbles; 
Haul out the past of the remodeled house  
recall a time of free spirited scribbles;  

Trash,  treasure that was left to fade 
crash erased such carefree lines; 
Cash left a masterpiece in rubble 
flash forward nothing left that shines.
