A Nod Of a Head

A nod of a head and what was once there, is no longer

A nod of a head and what you hope for falls deep into the pits

A presence defined, with a sudden halt, it’s gone

A place of solace, alone, she sits and awaits the mist

A nod of a head, inevitable decisions are made

Options may or may not have been exhausted, she has met her fate

A single gesture, its time to change, the once ignited light….extinguishes

She has no strength, no spark left to diminish

A nod of a head and you find yourself half empty on a shelf

The repercussions of an already broken vase

The crystal dust from the shattered pieces

The remnants of its past glory as a mended adornment

A nod of a head, a wonder….. An effect it has on one

Too simple an action yet dreadful destruction it creates

The root of it all is straightforward,

Its manifestation of a trapped soul

She bows her head low…….
