Hold my heart
hold it gently and with great care
Hold the pieces
with open grasp
Careful lest the fragments
cut you
with their brokenness
Watch the light glint
off the edges
Glimpses of beauty
in the shards
Recognize
the strength in
the shattering
the hope found in
disrepair
the wisdom in
the cracks
the magnificence of
our remnants
the brilliant mosaic of
our coming together
