Notes About The Poem

Soul Mending

Subtlety is the lexicon of exquisite mindfulness. 
Kintsugi is a Japanese method of mending harm. 
Another soul, another brilliance, another imperativeness. 
Kings platter broke death, distress, and a phony delight! 
In any case, there's gold and platinum dust here. 
Avail Chinese polish tree saps to recuperate breaks 
I can't discover repairing for my frail love. 
Is anything but a special salve known than these? 
I decided to assemble my demolished self, pieces and shreds. 
Demolished photos from the garbage, I sorted them. 
Smirched sheet, blurred shades soul contemplations remain. 
Anxiety breaks the brain and hinders Kintsugi from aiding artwork. 
A brilliant waterway of life might have the splendor you need. 
As broken memories are recast, so does the clay. 
Craft skill, gold trim, and heal the breaks in the earth is alive. 
The words inspire trouble that strikes the spirit. 
As recollections are restored, clay breaks retouch. 
A bare soul, a wrecked heart, sorrow, and despair
Tears will recuperate your inward love and mental wounds. 
Our spirits are bolstered when we love and care.
