Legend (perhaps):
Invented in the Desert
The chemistry of fire
mixed with sand –
Lovely in its translucence.
Let my heart be lovely
Like glass unbroken
transparent
Light reflecting
Fragile, delicate
Containing
Memories
Clear, bright, colorful.
Save my heart from
Being as glass obscured
Opaque
Bullet-proof
Hard
Brittle and sharp
When broken.
