Shards and All


In the middle of a sunrise-
Sunsets
In the middle of a daydream-
Nightmares
In the middle of an embrace-
A softened stance, a change of pace

In the middle of peace-
Animosity
In the middle of thought-
Distraction
In the middle of happiness-
Devastation comes, a change of face

In the middle of a warming place-
Frozen
In the middle of progression-
Erosion
In the middle of a calming sky-
Maelstrom comes, a change of state

Suddenly Shifting
Consistently Drifting
Noise
Deafening
Persistently Correcting
Listlessly reflecting
Silence
Ending

Peeking through a crystal ball-
Obtuse memorial
Disguising with a seer’s mask-
Shards and Fragments-
Each and All

  5. Jingle,thanks for stopping in and commenting. glad you enjoyed Shards. When I wrote this I was trying to write a song but while it still can work, the piece kind of grew legs of its own and I always let the piece win of course. But yeah in the middle of everything there is or can be something else. Thanks again:)
