Fragile

Fragile

Moon spun gossamer glass

Light refracting retracting filling the room

One brush of a hand

Breaks in infinite pieces



Tender giving caring

Filling lives with warmth and joy

A casual careless turn of a word

Rends the heart in two



Sweet mesmerizing music

Enters the ears and exits from the soul

Strike that sour note a cacophonous noise

and spoil the magic song



Keep safe from harm life's fragile things

A newborn babe, dignity of the old

Love between a man and woman

let them flourish and abound

their hearts blossom bring joy that astounds.
