Fragile

How it falls again,
This strange sensation,
Warm, fuzzy, unfamiliar,
Like water dripping
Softly into an ancient,
Aging vacant vase.

Vessel of memories,
Precious bouquets,
Once filled with purpose,
Artistically displayed,
Healed with nurturing,
Unconditional love.

How it falls again, just as
Fragile as it was then.

Very interesting... It is sad when relationships become 'fragile...' and run the risk of breaking. Broken things can usually be mended, but in human terms it takes 75% effort from both sides. Well done my friend! Best wishes, Keith
