Cause, Effects and how it all affects

Staring at the stars, not even paying attention, milk on the stove boiling over yet not paying attention. Sitting down to work yet blankly staring at the screen, lost completely like the ability of the presence of mind and attentiveness has disappeared.

Never before might have you been so absent minded until you realise that the cause of it all wasa simple break of a mere glass.

The whole world is still running, people around you perfectly functioning, yet you seem to have lost footing and begin to feel out of place.

It happens so suddenly yet you had seen the signs of this coming. The glass that broke began with a crack and over time the crack got bigger leading to more and finally it broke.

The Cause of the crack what a hard knock to it though you still at the time thought you could fix it and still run with it.

when the crack got bigger you again taped it up, hoping to steady it and still keep it together.

The leaks were there but you made do, after all it is your utmost favourite glass without which you can't possibly imagine anything else to drink out of.

The glass filled with plain water yet for you it was the elixir.

The signs when you saw its run its course and anytime soon it could shatter, you sat hours with it trying to repair and fix and desperately put in all your effort.

Just as you thought, Yes! it will work again. the magic ain't lost, the hope ain't lost, your hardwork to fix it has paid off finally.

But was it really..?

The moment you picked it up one last time, it broke into pieces that you couldn’t even gather.

The work put in, the efforts that went into fixing that cracked glass finally crumbled to pieces. It is this moment that you realize it was all for nothing.

It meant something, the water tasted better,

Just yours it was, like the life giving elixir

the feel of when the lips touched the rim,

like a whole new world so beautiful and without grim

The glass when the first time it chipped

Unknowingly your lips it nipped

All it needed was a bandage where it bleeds

the same for the glass just a fix is what it needs

So on and so forth the occurrences repeated

But it was all okay as the glass just needed to be better treated

Was the repair weak or half hearted

Is the thought that arose when you and the glass finally parted..

There was a time you took great care of it, the most precious thing you had received. You swore to take care of it and never let a scratch come to it.

Now you wake up at the dawn of every new day but without that glass that quenched your thirst.

You feel as though time has stopped, the magic portion to give the kickstart to the day has finished.

The cause of the glass breaking brought effects of being lost and its affecting your whole sense of being.

Do we ponder upon the causes of the hows and whys the glass really broke?

was the fault of the glass being fragile or was it you who just didn't know how to care for it properly..

The causes of the cracks in the glass was the problem? Or did you let the cracks get bigger instead of setting it down at its first.

The problem now is the whole confusion of how to proceed further.

The world moves at the same pace , the milk boils at the same rate as it always did.You however have slowed down or just lost the ability to act in time and as the night falls you stare blatantly unto the stars secretly wishing that the magic happens and you get your cup back as it was on the first day you received it. At the same time you think you have hit rock bottom yet again and another course change or move ahead scares you.

All this just for a glass...

Was it really that special or was that you were not worthy of it so it was taken away by forces unknown..

It isn't the first time you've been rocked and knocked but thi time you end up with the question, now what?
