Cracked Vase

Melbourne

The vase is cracked,
weathering years,
she has been
standing there alone.

No loving hand
could have saved her
as the flower of desire
wasn’t there anymore
to take care.

Canon EOS 40D
1/250s f/7.1 at 75.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wonderful light and tones on the broken vase. I like the vignetting. And a wonderful verse too.

If only the vase could talk and tell us about what it's seen.

Still has a lot of character....seems like we all crack a bit during our lives.

sad when something that was made to be so durable, shows that nothing lasts forever.

Apt words. A beautifully composed image with excellent detail, textures and tones. V
