Standing on broken glass
A crystal dream fractured
Into kaleidoscopic fractals
Chaos streams in the light
Ruby shards pressed
Into my dripping feet
Its sharpness cuts my soul
Bleeds my heart dry …
And yet all my mind can see
Are visions of tenderness
Smiles and gentle kisses
Sparkles in an eye
Warmth upon a lip
Harmony wrapped in a guitar note
Belonging within an arm
And hope caught within a tear.
