Broken China


Catching the eye in passing
patterns on glass win a second glance
Thoughts of what could go missing
Hand outstretched, he takes a chance

The delicate china placed at the center
Life moving onward, hand in hand
exhilarating, so much better
than ages solitary on a stand

Until one day, the moment came
hand once outstretched drops china to shatter
innocence lost, never the same
only shards remain of what no long matters

Slowly jagged fragments gather
Is eternity incomplete now her fate?
To now protect, a wall around her
Attempts to restore a pleasing state
