Fragile is our existence of peace
headache
broken glass
a cut in the garden
words that are crass
sarcasm
cracked egg
answers that are vague
empty milk bottle
makes you fly off the handle
slipping on melting snow
Fragile is our existence

The fragility is there.. and once broken it can never be mended.. Like Humpty Dumpty it can't be mended,,
ReplyDeleteI believe there is a fragile and thin line between peace and that broken glass ~ Happy to read you Ninot ~ Hope you are well, smiles ~
ReplyDeletePeace is indeed fragile on a personal and societal level.
ReplyDeleteOn the grand scale I fear for our future as mankind is warring by nature.
But I live in hope...

I love the pairing of "sarcasm" and "cracked egg."
ReplyDeleteHey - what a powerful write, not only peace but existence of so much more is at stake. Loved your piece. Thank you for joining OLN.
ReplyDeleteThank you Abhra. I have been away from OLN for too long!
DeleteI really like the contrast between the first line and the last line of this poem! Fragile indeed. Good to see you, Ninot.
ReplyDeleteI think you capture well the state of our culture as we endure crisis after crisis. The stress comes out in the small things that have become overwhelming because the big things are like a tsunami drowning us in its wake.
ReplyDeleteit def. is very fragile and things get out of balance too quickly..
ReplyDeleteSo much to tip the balance to darkness but I do believe in spite of it all, we can tip the balance to light and goodness. Hayes Spencer is Kanzensakura
