Shattering and Crashing
SHATTERING and CRASHING
An embattled moment gets frozen in time
As an angry storm destroys a glass wind chime
The last noise that it made was a shrill scream
As if its whole existence was worked up to it's own shattering
Being human we are designed to pick up the pieces
Even though we risk cuts in finger creases
A cut so quick and subtle you don't even feel
But a cut in the crease takes the longest to heal
Blind men flip rocks in the river
Distraught with a muddy position
While the bank upstream offers
A crystal clear vision
It's soothing to the soul to see whats what
Don't throw that rock till you leave your glass hut
Even though your target seems to be in perfect view
Your world will come crashing down around you
