My Heart Is A Stained Glass Window

My heart is a stained glass window, fragile as a Rose in May 
refracting light from every angle, it holds life's leeway 
Suffused with fragments of love,  I can be warm as night    
filled with a sense of awe, when you tilt me to the light,  
                                 I feel just right   
 My heart is a stained glass window, fragile as a Rose in May ! 
Fragmented beauty encased in bursting beams of afterglow
if I follow only yesterdays, life can soon appear surreal  
Infused with an outside world that can often smite   
I choose to live inside my own reflective colors,   
                                           Always, in the light   ! 
Fragmented beauty encased in bursting beams of afterglow
My heart is a monument to all that I have lived and known 
changing and bending with every curving path 
it has been overused and "Inter-diffused" many times  
like this mosaic piece of art I call "stained glass window "  
                 I am a,   "Pièce de ré·sis·tance " ( a work of art) 
My heart is a monument to all that I have lived and known
My heart is a stained glass window, fragile as a Rose in May 
When I pray with it, it remembers to give thanks, in every way.

a marvel, your poem is so brilliant and creative, dear poet Rose, i love the imagery of the stained glass, they can be mystical somewhere, thanks for the fascinating poetry, c'est étonnant, in french "résistance" means also the action of resisting to others or nature, a precious poem to be shared again and again
