Fragility
Steady — keep balance,
thin layer may crack,
time ticking.
Shell so delicate,
glimmers of dainty,
do not shatter,
take care,
be gentle,
keep the sun shining — brightly.
Perfect little mold,
round with precision,
exact swirls sweep and fall,
keep balance.
Meticulous calculations,
do not break the girl.
Do not fool yourself.
Let it drop — crashing to the floor.
Scattered pieces,
uneven,
prickly,
destroyed.
Radiance consumes,
previous fragments diluted.
Splinters strewn,
still clinging to light.
Fragility stays, but a short time.
A masterpiece wrought from a blast.
