Euphoria and Other Poems - 14. Chapter 14

Was it? ...

Kintsugi

Not all breaks are bad
All the untruths and hurting is the transformation that takes place inside the coccon and sometimes a butterfly comes out, sometimes a moth
But who is to say that the butterfly is superior to the moth
Denying the break is to deny the transformation
To stop healing
To stop learning
Capricious-arrogant-dissolute-dysfunctional whatever the code word had been, you can not throw away the system
Break your heart into million pieces then suture it up with the precision of a surgeon and passion of an artist
Fill in the gaps with gold
Impermanence is the law of existence

This poem is quite powerful and thought provoking. 

 

These lines:

But who is to say that the butterfly is superior to the moth
Denying the break is to deny the transformation
To stop healing
To stop learning

 

made me re-read, rethink and ponder. One cannot deny brokenness without denying the power and change in healing. While this speaks of hurt and shattered hearts, it also tells me of a stubborn kind of hope. 

 

Thank you you for sharing this.
