Dusty Diamond Among The Shards (For Stacy) Poem by Joseph Martin III

Dusty Diamond Among The Shards (For Stacy)



Beautiful girl

with the easy smile

and ready laugh,

whose heart broke and was broken

so many times

even she thought there was nothing left to break.



Perhaps small comfort

but so rare is your gift,

like a nightengale in a gas chamber,

an impossibility in the intolerable,

a small but not in vain hope

that even the shattered soul

may one day dance upon a greener shore.
