EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO ENTER THE CONTEST "ANSWER ME RIDDLE AND RELATE", DO - NOT - READ. ALSO, KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS MY TAKE ON THE ANSWER AND IS NOT NECESSARILY CORRECT. THANK YOU. AGAIN, STILL DON'T READ IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT ENTERING THIS CONTEST OR HAVE ENTERED OR WILL ENTER IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THAT'S CHEATING.
A silver vase falls from its stand,
And shatters with its glass;
And silence breaks, yet does not fall,
In pieces to amass.
And yet this cycle always falls,
But at that time, won't break;
And yet it breaks, but when it does,
A fall was not at stake.
The day will break in pearly dawn,
As the sun comes up to greet;
But when day falls, it shatters not,
But with the night will meet.
Author notes
So that's my answer. The day breaks, but not because of a fall; but at the end of the day, the day falls, but it won't break when its fall ends. It kinda makes sense, in an offhand sort of way. =/ It's probably not true, but... you know. I tried. ^^
