On
glass they were
They
dance
         On glass
      leap
and twirl 
Among
scattered shards
        Their tattered feet 
            Barely touching down
Whole
worlds scattered
At
their feet as they twirl  
             They dance
As
if that was all there was
             They dance 
As
if nothing stood in their way 
                 As if nothing
                                         As if
Whole
worlds at their feet
The
shattered remnants 
              Of normal lives
Scattered
as if by a strong hand
              A madman’s hand
                                         Steady
Look
at them twirl 
As
if there wasn’t a care in the world
                                          As if
They
dance

when all else fails...dance...
it is freeing to the soul...and even among the shatters...you feel a moment of reprieve...
