Analysis of Kintsugi
Why must broken things be abhorred?
Mending them be the need of hour
Why the beauty ever be adored?
Shattered platter let's holy grail pour
Annexed by throbbing pain, the heart
Lives mirage of ecstasy!
Shattered heart into trillion part
Splendid like big bang fantasy!
Wounds are where it enters light
Why these soul apertures be closed?
If it must, mend to highlight
Broken fragments in kintsugi embossed!
