Broken

Broken


What can we do with broken windows?
Maybe we can put them back together,
Maybe we can sweep them up,
Maybe we can ignore them completely,
or maybe we can just let them be broken.

Is it possible to mend what has shattered?
or can we just re-invent its initial purpose
In a way recycle the idea, not the item itself
Making something new out of garbage.

Perhaps everything must be broken at least once
Perhaps this is what creates need, desire and want
Perhaps all must lie within something broken
Before it can truly glow and be alive

Yes! And the last stanza smacks me in the face like a revelation.
