the potter,
made me whole.
the world broke me.
you, are the craftsman,
who put me back together.
it is your love,
purest gold, that holds
the broken shards in place
and makes me,
beautiful, beyond measure.
to the eyes of the beholder.

Kintsukuroi:
‘to repair with gold’
in Japanese,
and is the art of repairing pottery with gold
and understanding
that the piece
is the more beautiful
for having been broken.
