Poem: Vase

Vase

Vase on a shelf
Never deigned to be exquisite
But there

Then it fell
Knocked ‘gainst walls
‘Twas exposed to world

Until it showed cracks
Faded luster

More cracks

So it was left
Left on the shelf
To gather dust

Growing old in its broken solitude

Wow. Well, I was pretty moved by that. Truly that's a metaphor for so many people, if not all of us.
