Looking toward the glass that is stained,

Wondering why it is called such.

Stained has such a negative connotation,

Something that is so difficult to remove. 

Glass has no negative connotation,

But most people refer to it as broken?

Stained glass has such a bad feeling.

Until you sit in it’s colorful shadow,

Shrouded in it’s rainbows.

Watching the hues dance along my skin,

As I lie watching the Sun filter through. 

The assumption you held all along,

Trickles and fades.

And you wonder why the stain,

Is so difficult to wash away.
