author of your fate

The glass slips from her hand but before it fragments in a violently beautiful moment of truth, a life's story unravels. 
A beginning like any other, filled with content and hope.
At times it's contents are overflowing whilst others it holds little more than suffering.
yet it's shape and integrity have maintained through frequent vicissitude.
Tripping and stumbling has never led to this.  What makes this different?  There is a lifetime in this breath, a soul.  
A grip otherwise tight has not only released itself it has created a trajectory that years of physics lessons have dictated will result in catastrophe.
A prismatic explosion of life and love sends jagged shards that cut deep into the lives of those closest to her.   
Those left wiping the blood from their eyes offer the inevitable cliche about catching, about stopping the unstoppable.
Fresh wounds coagulate and turn to scars.  A memory of a life and of a death.
