Into a Thousand Shards

Burst into a thousand shards Sparkle, glint in the moonlight Fall on those who question you Your integrity touched And ice cold will you turn Burst into a thousand shards Shining in the sunlight Beauty in your rage Inspiring belief That there is more than meets the eye About this simple and shut in human being So burst into a thousand shards Pierce their hearts Leave a lasting memory For them to visit When they forget who you are Your very own super power Burst into a thousand shards A bit for him and her To keep A little bit of what it is To be you Burst into a thousand shards Your defense Against your enemies For them to doubt Their advances against you Burst into a thousand shards A spectacle of a sight Before you leave This masquerade of pretense The finale of a wonderful life For everyone to see What they missed or mocked A custom made goodbye For those you love They’ll be riveted on those shards Until they turn to dust In the air everywhere When the wind blows later on They’ll know it was you Your thousand shards of grit and might.
