Cracks Reveal

why?

is it wrong to ask?

is it wrong to want to know?

no.

questions are not wrong,

unless they are the wrong questions—

even then,

truth reveals itself.

broken vessels

have no control over their state,

each one handled uniquely.

yet cracks merely reveal

what rests inside—

emptiness, a lingering shade,

or uncontainable treasure

beaming in regal radiance

from the surrounding light.
