I was feeling a bit down about myself today and surfing the Internet looking for things to make myself feel better. You know, like guns and ammo and man stuff….. LOL.
That’s when I came across this poem. I wasn’t looking at poetry sites while I was depressed. I promise. Although it is poetry, it hit a nerve. I thought that I would share in just in case this poem could help someone else down the road. Or maybe I just want to save it to look back on later, Who knows? But…. This is my blog and I can put whatever I want on it…. Right?
The Unbroken
By RASHANI RÉA
There is a brokenness
out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness
out of which blooms the unshatterable.There is a sorrow
beyond all grief which leads to joy
and a fragility
out of whose depths emerges strength.There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness
we are sanctioned into being.There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open to the place inside
which is unbreakable and whole,
while learning to sing
