Fragility

A buzzing worker bee in spring spawning life with sweet kisses to flowers and organic things A petunia smiling in July An autumn's breeze brings an evening cry So fragile! An infant lies alone in its cradle longing for their mother with her ladle A little boy playing with his toys without a care An old man stops and smiles with nostalgic stare So fragile! A teenage girl teetering on giving herself for the very first time Thoughts and fears racing through that developing mind The earth's crust shakes and cracks in seconds without a warning A deluge engulfs a city in minutes and holds inhabitants hostage for weeks with no sign of calming So fragile, this place So why is there so little embrace? So fragile, our time So why do we play games with the mind? So fragile, we are So why is trust as distant as a star? Fragility is all around So, why can't love be found?
