The glass ball slips from my grasp

Broken shards scrape the surface

I let the ground taste my tears

The droplets leave behind unmarked graves

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
