The Beautiful Break

Whispered echoes filled the halls of my home  
As my prized possession fell to the floor

I watched it in slow motion
And I hoped it a pure notion
Now it lies there...
Broken Open 
 
It's broken
It's beautiful
It's mine
 
Jarred pieces stretched out before the world  
Catch and reveal reflections
Of all I've ever known

So much life was safely locked inside
-Yet in the blink of an eye...
it's vulnerable
 
It's broken
It's beautiful
It's mine
 
Gold's not meant for the shelf-life
Break diamonds open to see what's inside  
Jewels are yet to be realized...

Behold the broken truth of life 
 
It's broken
It's beautiful
It's mine
