CRASH AND CRY

I heard a crash

Crash that pierced the air

Ripping the dead silence of the hour.

Darting into the dining room

I eyed a sorry spectacle

Of my little blind daughter

Standing near the dining table sobbing

For the glass of water she touched

For the noise she made

Breaking the glass into thousand shards

Water all over the floor

Tears all over her face

Crash that rent the silence

Cry that rent my heart.
