-Harm


Heart of glass
Once transparent and clear
Shattered 
Love drained , disappeared 

Porcelain spirit
Crumbled , crushed
No longer soars 
Trust turned to dust

Crystal soul 
Cracked and chipped
Time needs to restore
Damage from harms cruel grip

You describe this so well. Once the trust is broken cracks begin to show and the heart becomes fragile. It needs time to mend to find it's way in the difficult times. It takes a long time. love phyl

Very well written dear debx, once trust is stained and heart is broken, when fragile it is, already, its hard to restore or mend, so we must always remember to be mindful and kind always! A very touching poem this is! So good to read you! Been a while! Hope you are doing well. Sending you light always
