Kentia Palms Catch a Breeze

Kentia palms catch a breeze
   And sway gently in their rows;
This verdant sanctuary
   Comforts me like the psalms.

I amble slowly between them -
   My head tapped by the fronds.
I feel the warmth of the sun;
   The fresh air fills my lungs.

A kintsugi pot rests on pebbles -
   Beautiful but defiant.
Gold sealed up the fissures -
   Reminding me of who I am.
