Splinters

just using the acrostic form forever and a day

Shatter/Splinters

Friends surround the little boy as he goes from
Room to room.  I know nothing about their day.
All the teachers crowd around.  They are happy,
Not always teary, but crying.  You think the people
Think they know.  I can write about my son who
Understands so many more words now that he is four.
Meter has gone by the wayside now; he’s gone back to his games.
A happier moment, listening to piano music.  Why should life be
Romantic?  Why should life be so peaceful and happy with our radio music?
Evening comes like a pretty screen with our happy lamplight, it’s stupid, it’s dumb.

From inside the green cavern, a glowing light eviscerates the cunning choir of archangels.
Roundabout circles of green seem to swirl about in such a world as one may create. 
All across the planet the sky is more beautiful than all of creation; is that saying too much.
No.  Yes.  It does say to much.  We pretend that one person’s words are more than another’s but
The truth is hidden from us.  We don’t know what tomorrow will bring.  Knock us down Almighty.
Utter extinction will never happen again, we are promised by the rainbow and the flood.
Most happy youth is gay and without the extreme sorrow of losing someone you loved before they even
Inked the planet with visions of destruction and warfare.  I loved it.  I wanted this world to continue to eternity.
