Stained Glass Windows

Shattered glass stained
Into a perfect picture
Coloured pieces paned
Painted into the future

They blend into a fantasy
Of an artist's impression
The drained dream of reality
A beautiful confession

We taint our hearts with
Open lies, darkened shadows
Still we stare through
Our stained glass windows
