precious vase


precious vase

as old as you on your death bed

smashed to shards

for a lifetime

it was



precious vase

stands in final resting place

size and patterns and shape revealed in all their glory

at the moment you cease

to comprehend



life of shards

fragments you

can only hold so many at once in hand

not sure how to combine

each day



life of shards

caught in glimpses in between

each time you look to memories

not quite the same

now back then



fragments past

take on new light as you find them

sometimes too sharp but you

don’t let go

on purpose



fragments fast

forgotten in the blink of an eye

who are were could you be if not your self

selves split solve salvation

tears apart



glimpses between

searching you wish for one whole image

never seen

and will always change



glimpses between

are more than enough if the mirror is clean

but none of ours are

and you’ll always try

but never know
