                        Like a mosaic
                             of broken glass;
                        on rotten page;
                             and tragic past;
                        he holds himself
                             forevermore;
                        the pieces left
                             that surely last;
                        though not those all
                             were taken back;
                        but weighs the whole;
                             will-melting mass;
                        but glimmered most;
                             those broken stones
                        reflected well
                              his failure tasks;
                        as living soul;
                              on earth so vast,
                        but best he found
                              his only joy;
                        to now discard;
                              his torn up mask;
                        and shine so forth
                              his beauty blast;
                        but just for now,
                              his edges' track;
                        shall shape his soul
                              despite what lacks.
