Notes About The Poem

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of reparing broken pottery. 

Kintsugi

We are human clay
Clay pots for the Lord’s display
And as we are led in a cruciform way
It is the Lord who will restore the cracks with new clay

But the cracks are to be seen and known
As we grow in Christ and our light dimly shown
That Light will break forth through every crack
And like Gideon’s Army will break forth
              with the Light that we lack

So goes the pugilistic efforts that we’ve offered
Beating the air in our futility that’s proffered
But our fight is shown in the cracks of the jars
It’s shown in this life through pottery shards
Shown to give glory to the One that’s in charge
He repairs all, the connards and the canards

So, Jesus repairs you and me
He uses His kintsugi
To mend the pottery 
The fractured pitcher of you and me
(He uses silver and gold and His Refiner’s fire
To refine our focus towards Him our Desire)
The Desire of all nations bursts forth
              in the breaking of the clay
We will share in a new life that’s breaking today
