Crystal Ball

The crystal ball is broken,

Shattered in a thousand pieces,

Scattered on the basement floor

Just waiting to be swept away.

 

A thing of beauty in its day,

Filled with hope and aspiration,

Forward seeking, always searching

For that temple in the sky,

 

Looking for an alibi

To hide the fear of taking chances,

Falling victim to the winds of change

The fates are bound to bring.

 

Still the sirens softly sing

Their subtle songs of dreams fulfilled,

Beckoning to press their will,

Rekindling the fire within,

 

To pick up pieces and begin

With hope reborn to start anew,

New decisions, new directions,

New crystal ball to gaze into.
