Brokenness
Sometimes a broken heart
brings courage,
a destitution that allows growth,
and the ego-less truth of self.
Sometimes a broken heart
brings a hiatus
to show how real compassion
dances intimately
with selflessness.
Sometimes a broken heart
is a disposition,
a clarity of temperament,
and the response of spirit.
Sometimes a broken heart
is just a break
that needs the fracture to
force the heart to expand,
to reach inner wisdom,
without the distraction
of someone else’s needs.
And,
sometimes a broken heart
brings you to your knees,
closer to the Divine,
praying for forgiveness
while negotiating
for another chance
at seeing the world
through the eyes of love.

Re: Brokenness — by Millie Mestril
Thanks Welles! Makes you think doesn't it? I for one always would have run from "brokenness" as it is not a pleasant feeling/experience. But from this poem it seems there are important opportunities stirring within this thing we call a broken heart.
