I saw a broken star tonight,
shards of light
scattering through emptiness
before fading into non-existence.
I thought of making a wish,
but that’s only for shooting stars;
even wishes cannot hope
to mend a broken heart.
when stars break

O, darling Mims, this piece has me battered, shattered and scattered. You touched the heart; therefore, you hit the mark. 🙂

Thanks. The internet is indeed world wide. There may be gaps in posts and comments during times of change but I will write every day as I have for years.
Perhaps useful words will come of it.
