There is a brokenness out of which comes the 
unbreakable


There is a shatteredness out of which blooms the 
unshatterable



There is a sorrow beyond all grief which leads to joy
 and a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength



There is a hollow space to vast for words through
 which we pass with each loss, out of whose darkness we
 are sanctioned into being.



There is a cry deeper than all sound
 whose serrated edges cut the heart
 as we break open 
to the place inside which is unbreakable
 and whole,
 while learning to sing.
