Wabi-sabi

In this world, 
we are all transients, 
traveling to the beat 
of a mortal drum,
on a latent path
that only the souls 
can see, 
waiting for that moment
when we give back 
our borrowed light. 

Like a star,
we can shed our light 
in the night 
and lose our radiance 
in the day, 
to depend on the sun, 
because, it is through this 
that we realize, 
we are not perfect 
and we are interdependent.

When we get broken,
we need someone to repair us.
