Shattered Soul

The day her soul shattered
Was not an eventful day.
It was not the day her loved ones died.
It was not the day the sky sounded like it would split in two.
It was not the day she lost her home.

The day her soul shattered
Was not the day the assassination occurred.
It was not the day the world went up in flames.
It was not the day the knives and the blood invaded.

The day her soul shattered
Was not a day of grief or pain.
The day her soul shattered
Was the day she helped a blind man cross the road
And he said, "Thank you."
