Wabi-sabi

Shattered I, in countless pieces, Abandoned in the wake of that which me befell. Dust settles, and I retrieve the debris of who I was, Not knowing yet what I will become. Broken me…but can be mended Fragments mine, in time, reshaping, Finding form and beauty in the chaos – A murmuration of those shards that were, are, and will be me. Of destruction myself reborn, Ever to be fractured and remade, Never static nor complete… For even in death, I will be changed.

A powerful and moving take on this prompt. I think you’ve described it so well here, I especially love “ Finding form and beauty in the chaos” i can resonate. “ Never static nor complete…For even in death, I will be changed.“ how deep. I think craig will love this take. Goodluck for the contest
