Mending crushed hopes with gold

 

No soul ever asks

For trials and tribulations.

Not one man alive

Would seek to have

His heartstrings snapped,

Crawling out of one's skin

As it cracks and it peels.

No one would wish

To be re-cut as a puzzle,

To reassemble oneself, -

Pieces scattered around.

Yet, embracing the flaws

Mending dishes with gold

Is the art of re-writing

One's precious history,

Extrinsically valuable

To the Observer Above.

Kintsugi is ever-growing

In value and skill,

Appreciation is rising

For stories rebuilt.

The treasure of one's days

Could easily be lost,

In the haze of a hurry,

In confusion of chase.

So make sure you weave

Them tight in a scroll,

So not one drop of gold

Escapes unrecorded.
