Inspiration
Shards like fine glass shattered
through the mazes of his heart
one for everything that mattered
that had sliced his world apart
Now he prys them loose at midnight
just to lay them on the line
every sliver like a vision
of his life as well as mine
one for every dark disaster
that prevailed when he was young
now he proves himself the master
splinters falling from his tongue
scratch the paper with the anguish
let the blood red ink rejoice
he no longer has to languish
God has given him a voice.
