One must find their meaning through the sherds.

Through Broken Glass

by Mike K2

He shattered and tossed
out his bad feelings today.
No need to look at trophies
that make his emotions sway.

He loved the challenge, but
never went there for himself.
Hoping to earn a real nice gift,
a sweet thought for someone's shelf.

Witches and bastards, mock and chide
him for paying such a high price.
But his heart out of love, is willing
to pay, considering virtue over vice.

Perhaps it will remain God's will that
efforts go unnoticed and he remains alone.
Not meant for nothing but a life's
meditation for him, for his soul to hone.

He leaves untouched the images
and words in his data file.
As just a few people told him,
"I enjoyed and stayed a while."

Maybe the bearer won't find nourishment
for the work in planting his seeds.
But he means to provide a great taste
to savor for someone else that needs.





Perhaps this is considered a sad one, but to this author it is about the convictions and behaviors that one day, might be appreciated by another.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
