Broken Beautifully (An Original Poem)
each and every one,
are broken,
they are
broken beautifully,
from their shards,
exacting sharp shadows,
to the ugliness
of this world.
they give to us
are even more valuable
than what they
wish to steal away?
you stare into a sky
you’ve never seen before
reverberate within you
for the rest of your life
and change you...
now and forever.

I love the idea, @ericvancewalton, of being 'broken beautifully'. Thank you, for developing it and reminding us of the power of having our hearts broken, open, with tenderness and compassion.
So many echoes of this life-sustaining idea from different disciplines --- spirituality, psychology, and literature. Here' a few:
"I was given a thorn in my flesh... to torment me. / Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. / But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. ”
'The wound is the place where the Light enters you.' -Rumi
'Only the wounded physician heals.' -Jung
'There is a crack in everything / that's how the light gets in.'
Even yours truly has written a little ditty on this subject:
"I've been lavishly gifted a pain
as thick and rich as oil paint
By pushing it round the page
I've learned to make Art."
The power of words and how they dance from one's pen. An upvote and a follow from me.
what a talent you are, its comming from very deep within you, thats for sure!
The last two stanza; highpoint for me
Awesome piece of art
Nice one :)
Liked the poem ,and yes all of us are somehow affected to be broken somehow !
This was a deep poem. I also think the image of the glass breaking went perfect with the poem. Nice job
