In Fractured Whispers, We Connect

May 23, 2024

In fragile whispers, hearts unfold,
Through cracks, a story softly told.
In shattered pieces, lives entwine,
Through vulnerability, we find the line.

Beneath the masks we often wear,
Lies a soul, naked, laid bare.
In brokenness, we see the whole,
Connecting through each fractured soul.

Definitions fade, theories fall,
When hearts, once guarded, heed the call.
For in the raw, the unrefined,
Our true connections are defined.

It’s in the tears and in the scars,
We see the light behind the bars.
Not facts, but feelings, lead the way,
In vulnerable moments, we find our say.

To share our wounds, to show our pain,
Is where the human spirit gains.
In empathy, in tender touch,
We heal through sharing, loving much.

So let us dare to drop the shield,
In brokenness, our strength revealed.
For in this fragile, open space,
We find connection, face to face.
