The Vase | TribhuNath

The vase of glass
Eventually could have broken
Anytime.
It’s OK, if it broke now and here!
It’s OK, if it couldn’t be
Put together and saved,
As Flowers so loved
Would still be there.

Pointed, sharp and deadly
Pieces of glass would surely splinter
It wouldn’t, however,
Shade the alluring vibrance
It wouldn’t even
Dent the charming fragrance,
Of the flowers withstood to dare!

Her Life | Katherine Brent - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Her Life | Katherine Brent

And so it came to pass
That she grew up and moved away
No longer walked down
Familiar lanes
Charted her own course
In a faraway place
Leaving behind people
Who would grow to resent her
And cover for their absence of courage
By saying it was her fault
Huddled together wishing her ill
Refusing to look at themselves
Her whole life ahead of her
