The Stories the Pots Tell - Poem

​(One of my goals this year is to experiment with poetry. There is a long-term goal of publishing a poem in a literary journal, but I am teaching myself this as I go along. I figure I would invite you all in on the journey.)

The Stories the Pots Tell

Cracked, chipped
Nothing gets through
In one piece.

So the pots are put 
Back together
Chips, cracks, and all.

They show how their cracks
Let the Light in,
Giving beauty to brokenness.

The stories the pots tell
Are of impossible things, unthinkable
Mainly: wholeness is for us too.
