kirei ni tsukurowa re te iru

Neville

kirei ni tsukurowa re te iru

 

When he found her

she was lost

      and so very broken ..

Yet she

wanted him to mend

   her badly ..

Indeed, so much she

   begged him

and that my friend is

precisely

what he did, with so

much care

and love and such

attention, plus

half a dozen lengths

of finest

and most precious

   golden thread ..

Then when

she was whole again

and more

   beautiful than ever ..

She did lay

before him naked for

the first time

and agreed to take her

saviours name

   kiseki no souzou mono ..

    Did try Guv, honestly. All I got was involved instructions re tense etc (never dun that in English, let alone Japanese) plus an offer to fly me to Japan tout suite. And that ain't Japanese either, but it's the best I can do to sound sophisticated.

      No worries .. try to relax more, UR 2 tense 😎👍

      Broken items of china and glass can be restored and value can be added to them. Where they are broken, they can be repaired and gold powder or leaf can be worked into the flaws. This is a Japanese art. In your poem, I imagined a shattered bowl put together again and restored to its former beauty. What a lovely idea. I watched a video. Fascinating Neville.

      A bit kinder than Botox eh? Happy Sunday.

            "Let's make it neatly", according to translation, I was interested. I love the sentiment of this poem, of caring so much for another, to take them to heart and make them whole, seeing something wonderful in them. Beautiful my friend!!

              I have written many times before about the art of kintsugi .. in my opinion, the philosophy that underpins and surrounds it is near sacred ..

              I like the idea of making the broken whole again and even more beautiful than its original form ..

              Thank you for calling in on this particular little scribble of mine Bella, I really am most grateful .. Neville

                Dear Nev, you have given me something new to explore in kintsugi. Thank you!

                A wonderful tale of what must surely be a Japanese legend. I don't know of such a legend. The only connection I could see is their art called Kintsugi, where they take broken ceramics and repair them with lacquer and gold pigment, such that the finished repair work looks like threads on the object. Thus, restoring its beauty. Almost like a miracle. - Phil A.

                  You are indeed closest yet Phil ... Give that guy a cigar on me .. and yes again, The maker of Miracles .. Neville

                  Sounds to me a Knight in shining armour, helping someone back to their best is not an easy task and then some. Beautiful to know.

                  • Neville



                    Both me and these words of mine appreciate your company Ms. T .. Neville

                  • Goldfinch60

                    I hope that this was real Neville and not a miracle that you imagined.

                      A true gentleman neva tells, does one, but rather leaves it to those who might visit from time to time, to form their own opinion .. I only feel obliged to thank those who pass by and leave their mark behind ..

                      Cheers Andy .. Neville
