The Glass Ceiling

 

 

The Glass Ceiling

 

Around the 11^th hour of a starry bright night in November

I heard the most stirring sound that I will forever remember

This sound was profound as I heard it resound from the sky to the ground

An epic sound

A mixture of a NASA shuttle launching and of cracking glass

Startled with intrigue, I gasped

Then arose from my couch and ran to peer outside via my den’s windowpane

And witnessed fragments of the infamous glass ceiling falling to its defeated shame

While breaking news ran across the TV confirming Barack Obama’s historical change

Fantastic imagery and I enjoyed your use of the 'Glass Ceiling'- it really added to the message of breaking from constraints and rising =)
