Something Beautiful

The following was inspired by the opening paragraph to Aleksander Solzhenitsyn's Nobel prize acceptance speach.

Man & Nature

Beautiful
So Precious
Something entirely new
Undiscovered
I have found something new and oh
The beauty
Dazzling,
The way the light dances, reflects
When I turn it,
Touch it,
Twist it,
This way,
That way 
Oh shit!
Broken
I didn’t even show it off,
Didn’t even get a photo
Now it is gone
Can’t be fixed,
Can’t be helped,
My fault
Sorry.
But wait
Here is another
Just like the first
Better, even
I can get more!
I can Play!
I can have fun!
I can break them!
Kill something beautiful
– there will always be more.
