Forever Fragile

Fragile....
this life
Strands of time
strewn
together
as pearl pink
moments

Forever....
known in the
reflection
of an
instant...
fleeting

There is strength
and fragility
in forever
Life partners...
Parts of the grand
design

Forever
Fragile am I
You, us
Handle with care...
or we
may break

Are we strong enough
to
reassemble in an
instant of reflective
awareness
gifted
in the glint of the
sun rising
on the pearled strands 
of our
time...
together?
