Shattered Dreams

The darkness envelopes the earthly world ~~

Close your eyes & dream
of tomorrows filled with
pink & purple meadows
Horizons drenched in orange
as the sun kisses the earth.

Can you see her?
Dancing in the wind?
Her arms outstretched
Spinning, twirling, laughing
A fragile child in the world alone.

You sent her here
The night her innocence was betrayed
Her youth was shattered
Her heart ripped out
Her spirit broken....

The pieces are scattered
He tossed them in the wind
Like a beautiful crystal vase
Sent crashing to the earth.

See them now?
Sparkling in the light?
Like gems sprinkled all around us
Can we find all those pieces?
Can we make them whole again?

She’s looking at you~~
The child~~~
Can you see her?
Dancing in the wind?
Her arms outstretched
Spinning, twirling, laughing

A fragile child in the world alone.
