Wouldn't it be nice just to pour some gold in to our cracks and mend all our broken pieces, perhaps then we would embrace our flaws too.

Last Night was a beautiful night The fire pit burning bright Today is full of rain With barometric pressure pain Blanket on to keep me warm While I listen to the outside storm Hot cup of Joe by my side Taking life in my stride Nursing all my cracks and creases Mending all my broken pieces Taking time out for my heart Making myself a beautiful art Filling holes with lacquer Gold So I can be no longer old Fragments bonded back together So I can withstand any weather Kintsugi highlights imperfections Mending all the lost connections Embracing flaws for all to see Think I’ll pour some gold in me.

Paula, You have a special way of looking at things and dealing too. From moment to moment and day to day we can only deal in our own special way. Enjoyed the poem. Debbie

Thanks Debbie, I have read some of your poems, Ballads, sonnets, light verse and so on too and particularly enjoyed the imagism of the Weeping Willow and Shadow Dancer. Well penned. :)

some poetry walks you memory deep....other times a gentle ride connecting one to the wonderment of it all but there are ones such as this that echo fill your walk into the knowledge you do not walk alone....one who can greet the rising sun, wear a smile and meet life on life's terms wherever the day meanders....great poem, such a refreshing honest looking in the mirror while Emily's bird sings in sweetest gale
