An ode for Embers

You  
Fragile  
And  
Wonderfully broken thing  
Are completely unaware  
Of the fires  
The embers of your vulnerability  
Will spread  
 
More often than not  
The most beautiful  
And  
Inspiring things  
Are the broken:
For the sky does crack  
In order to grant rain  
And  
The earth does quake  
In order to stretch its reach
As the heart does break  
In order to make room  
For the splendars  
Of feeling  
Something  
 
Let the demands  
Of a hidden  
And  
Intact heart  
Fall to waist  
As YOU
Raise your sleeve  
In the light of your fire  
To reveal  
The beautiful  
And  
Broken heart  
That beats ever-strong  
All the while  
Allowing your embers  
To burn down  
Paper-towns
And awaken
Paper-people  
 
Embrace your broken  
For it is beautiful  
And  
Embrace your embers  
For they will cast a light
