Notes About The Poem

Wabi Sabi

Nothing can dim the light that shines from within. ~Maya Angelou

You are perfect 
in all of your imperfections.

What imperfections? 
I ask.

Exactly!
He responds.

it was not true love
the only true love is God
and Christ on the cross
bearing the imperfections
so light can shine out from me

I love the maya angelous quote you’ve used here and also how your poem flows in such a seamless manner, the ending is soul hitting. True love is within, and if we truly connect we would fight light. Loved this! Sending you light, pleasure reading this take on wabi sabi
