Fragmented

Shattered into a million little pieces,
Fragments float gently down to the ground.

I gather a few on my palm.
Neither gentle am I, nor harsh.
Perhaps unfeeling, numb.

I look at them closely,
Little colored bits,
Of myriad different shapes.

For a moment I hold them still.
And then with one gentle kiss,
I blow them away.

Curious eyes watch as
they swirl erratically by:
Fragments of me, blown away.

A man once said, "Its a crime, not to have rhyme".

It is also a crime to only criticize. Remember the villain in Ratatouille? Critics are the most immoral people ever.
