Poetry

Kintsugi

Life long quest to find her own self, bleak long journeys which ended in cul-de-sac.
Then the epiphany struck her, she found her own self in the darkness
under the moon’s twilight, the silhouette reflected her own grieving poetic self.
She painted the white pages of life with her sorrows filled in deep red.
Her pores and tissue brimmed with love and pain of empathy,
She delighted the readers by parting a piece of her soul.
The grief, epiphany and ecstasy put the fragments and pieces of her life together.
Her own self was one of her greatest and most beautiful artistic work.

“Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics. It uses precious metals like gold to bring together broken parts together. It gives us the lesson of resilience and hope, helps us to embrace our flaws and shows that more beautiful pieces of art can be created from that.”
