Fragile Things Break


Scorching sun gives way to rain

as summer heat for now fades.

Saturating dry grass stubble,

quenching for a moment wilting lawns

that had cast off its lush green

in favour of seasonal burnt brown shades.

Caught in a rainstorm

a moment to be alive, to stretch out

to touch the sky and squeal with delight!

To reach out to another, to feel heavens light.

The morning is chased away, making room for evening  

The fleeting soul salutes the onset of finite night calling

Shadows fall, clouds hover

remembering past years lived, consigned to history.

Grateful words speak of days when limbs raced

when the impossible thing seemed just about doable

now, time has flown, aching aged limbs whisper fragility.

Fragile things tend to break

Fragile people have a tendency to break also

Hearts store a roomful of love, memories too

Good and bad as the journey continues to flow.

Like glass broken into jagged pieces, tearful eyes sting.


Freedom curtailed, a few more beautiful words to say,

A hug received and given, then one final song to sing.

Death’s anchor is thrown over the side and takes root.

As the body returns to the dust from which it came

kissed by the promise of resurrection, anointed by the sacred,

life’s fragile new beginnings of eternal rising, reveal fresh shoots.
