In a Glass House


Living in a glass house
Cracks, creeks, impact about to shatter 
And I am left with questions, reflections


Who walks in the rain
Who walks through  webs
Who walks a thousand steps 
Who kisses a frog 


Without getting wet
Without having curb-webs attached
Without once wrong footing
Without getting wet lips


Who lives past age count
Who speaks words
Who points out
Who sees on sight


Without having sinned
Without once being foul, mouth
Without on occasion  misdirection
Without once seeing mirage, mist, rage


And my glass creeks
Cracks, shuttering 
On being human
To air and being at fault

    Imperfections and love make us human, whether we recognize that or not. Great work, Kodjo

    The words of a very wise man, you have my gratitude for gifting this wisdom to us all. At times the glass is so clear for us we rarely see it. Fantastic work!

    you left me thinking here kodjo, about our frailties...and to leave me thinking about the words a poem has to say means that the poem has done a fine job indeed...cheers pete

    At first I thought you said 'shattering' ~ shuttering is such a better choice. Love this!

    Your poem has great wisdom in it. At some point or the other our glass houses have to crack. We have to experience evil. But it is because we've been evil that we've also been good.
