The Crystal Vase

Shattered glass
Like my life, in pieces
Glittering fragments
Waiting to be swept away
As raindrops, build
Into torrential rains
So now I may drown
In the flood of life
The river flows
Towards death

Life is, as you know, made of pieces, the question is: What is the glue that stick them together? Each one of us has to give an answer, and the answer he gives will provide the reason to go on! Death is certain, we should not rush! LIFE is the challenge, there we should turn our attention! Lovely poem! Thank you for visiting!
