Bring on kintsugi
In the night’s cathedral hour
New life starts at dawn

Red Brick Keshner,
Your poem is brief yet deeply insightful. The invocation of kintsugi struck me immediately. It’s such a beautiful philosophy—embracing the brokenness in life and turning it into something more meaningful, even more beautiful. I love how you’ve applied this to the “night’s cathedral hour.” The idea that the stillness and reflection of night can act as a sacred space for healing and repair is incredibly moving. It reminds me that even in our darkest, quietest moments, there’s an opportunity for transformation.
And then, the simplicity and hope in “new life starts at dawn” ties it all together perfectly. It feels like a reassurance that after the night’s introspection and repair, we are ready to face the day—flaws and all—stronger, wiser, and more whole because of what we’ve endured.
Your poem speaks to the beauty of life’s imperfections and the power of renewal, and it’s such a comforting reminder to carry with me. Thank you for sharing this. I'm very moved.
Best,
Rolph
