Kintsugi

A day one in a place better than a lifetime,
For I die, dig my grave in the memories of that place,
I shall come alive with grace,
Where the stars glimmer, it feels divine,
Oh, can that moment forever be mine?

The memories sting my heart,
As if the world is tearing me apart,
As if the mirror is broken every time,
As if I get washed away with every tide,
As if the dark clouds block the moon,
As if the world is ending soon.

But why is the mirror coloured in gold?
Why is the ocean glimmering in the sun?
Why do the dark clouds smile at me?
As if I’m not alone, the only one.

Shatter me into pieces,
But I shall come alive in that place with gold.
