Unbroken

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 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.

- Rashani

I had a totally different post planned for today but after i heard the news of the shooting yesterday (one entire day after everyone else in the world apparently) i just don't really feel like talking right now.
