Carole Cookie Arnold Poet Rhyme

Shattered Glass and Shards

 Shattered Glass and Shards




Shattered glass sparkling in the sunlight warm
Scattered about without purpose from its prior form 
Once a window glass of protection woven into a home
A crisis in life destroyed all the glass has known

Shards of trees lay destitute soaked in stagnant water
Two walls still stand violent winds led the slaughter
Life was rearranged that day as everything was taken
Those who held things so high had their habitats shaken

A cleaner sweeps up the glass that lays in defeat
With his brush in hand cleans it from the street
Smiling he turns “Ah! A new window you shall be’
I will heat you up and lay you out for everyone to see

Although you were shattered you still continued to shine
Now I will weave into a new homes grand design
Never did lie there as the watered shards, in misery
What was lost has been restored my shining glass of victory

Lacking perseverance destroyed their victory
 If they had only reached toward the son
 Casting aside all the lifeless shards
 And simply chose to blossomed on
