In the morning it crawls, 

     Searches in solitude. 

As it creeps along it finds 

     Pieces of itself, small shards that 

              Reflect 

Parts of its entire soul. 


In the afternoon it walks, 

     Hopes for independence.

As it moves along it discovers

     Pieces of others, small shards that 

              Reflect 

Parts to be cast in life's play. 


Later, in the evening of its time, 

              It limps, 

     Suffers in disparity. 

As it dies, and has found itself,

            It cries out, 

For all its shards have been pieced together

Only to be broken again.
