A Thing of Eternal Beauty




“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” Leonard Cohen.


A Thing of Eternal Beauty 


There was a time when 

the silver moon and the twinkling stars

were the only reminders of the light. 

Out there, somewhere, at the night's end. 


Love was the shard of golden light

that appeared on the skyline,

the day our hearts first met,

and the dawn splintered open the night.


There is a crack in everything.

Love was the healing light 

that pierced the fissure,

and illuminated our lives. 


Love makes us one, love makes us strong. 

Love is the Kintsugi gold

that turns a flawed and broken vessel

into a thing of eternal beauty.
