Shard
Scribbled on a memory stick
or potted like a plant:
I am bedazzled, ragged,
dazed, by the sun's romance.
Sunlight slants in sideways
disturbing summer's sleep
dust motes gleam in the sunbeams,
keep the primal screams at bay.
Sun seeps into splintered shards
recollections form into sharpened swords
while meaning schemes
to split the scene
I try hard.to focus on what appears -
or seems - shards of your ever-broken dream.

John,
Your use of language in this poem is superb.
dust motes gleam in the sunbeams
It fires my imagination.
Thank you for this
Keith
