Glass Life

My glass life half empty,
Never like you or them,
Catalyzed by forsaken neglect,
Abandoned with the breeze,
Catapulted into your world of torment,
Sparkling spirit lost its glimmer, 
Ebbing amidst flawed philosophies, 
Breathing cynicism into existence.
Save me from this despondency,
And soothe my demons,
Requisitioning the essence of 
My everything,
Pilfering what I'm meant to be.
Shadows of doubt,
Splintering my quintessence,
Inundated by echoing relics of my past;
Silence these fragmented reflections
That plague me.
Aching for the flicker of a
New dawning, to
Encompass every broken part of me.

Dear Fading Star, the beauty of your melancholy beckons my heart’s imagination to linger in the “fragmented reflections” of your reverie, awaiting with you, the hug and hope of a new dawn. A soulful gem. Welcome to poetry soup. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
