Analysis of Glass Reborn
Spotless Crystal
The desire of my impatient hand
You hold my golden water of life
As you lay their unbroken
Untouched by dirty hands
You sparkle as the golden light
Flows inside of you
As I gently grasp your slender body
Fearing the unthinkable
What if I dropped you?
Yet with steady hands
I successfully complete my duty
As with a single twist
A movement so perfect
The joy of my skinny wrist
Now you are free
Ready to move about
Like the most graceful waterfall
Its time to meet your little sister
That empty crystal
Made to hold your beauty
As I ignore your lofty specimen
No longer is it full
I turn my attention to the little sister
That has all the pull
One drop at a time
Like a fading rainbow
This special little crystal
Is losing all its lustre
Then just like a thirsty dry dam
Waiting to be filled
With its precious water
As this water of life reaches its end
I look forward to its rebirth
