stormclouds
pouring rain
thunder then lightning
an electric shock
shattering the pitcher
into thousands of glass slivers
causing me to bleed
as i finger swept
into shapes upon the floor
they punctured through
piercing my heart
cutting to my soul.
the wind kicked up
debris and dust
swirled and twisted
into an oklahoma dirt devil
casting teardrops into mud
the storm kept raging
a calm set in
enveloped in teh eye
the center
where the sun shines down
and light is found
the caked mud dried
was carried away
with a gentle breeze
little birds sang in harmony
while gathering the picture pieces
in a pile under the sun
in the encompassing warmth
they glistened and liquified
overflowing from my hands
into a heart shaped mold
the glass heart strung around my neck
worn on the outside
it hung
until one day
my new transparent heart
and i became one
from that day forward
it catches the light rays
shining bright like a star
shooting from deep inside
from shattered glass
to inner beauty
reshaped from the past
