Shattered Glass

A glass sphere cracks in places Begins to explode It shakes and rattles about Fixed in my abode It shatters apart It breaks into small pieces Like a lonely heart

Hi Russell,...oh so true...nice comparison that many can relate to...Yes, I have had some intense writer's block lately as other stresses have preoccupied the same area of my brain as the creativity center...I hope it ceases soon. Thanks for reading...u are one of the most supportive members of this site..I do appreciate it! Cute Avatar of your puppy...what was her name???
