I just hope people see that if God can do something beautiful with my broken
pieces, then God truly has a plan for each and every one of us.—Nick Vujicic
the sleep that yields
to a hunger
for civil liberties
that fallen lids
cannot approximate
—broken dreams
the bread that steals
the harbinger
of trivialities
when famished kids
for vittles congregate
—broken means
the rose that feels
how men've wronged her
when grim realities
that love forbids
pluck her, dispassionate
—broken screams
wound never heals
tho’ buds, when younger,
a trail for dancing bees,
a bridge amidst
their buzz was battlement
—broken streams
painful appeals
where love, once stronger,
succumbs to vagaries
whose swords insist
they crave no settlement
—broken teams
the breath that heals,
whose dance no longer
adorns the stage with ease,
by silence kissed—
life's worst predicament
—broken scenes
these broken seals,
whose hands can conquer?
whose passions can appease?
the poet's twist—
man's only increment
—broken reams

Wonderful response, flower!
When you think of it, it takes broken bread to feed the hungry world, just as the broken body of Jesus Christ heals the broken soul.
Knowing from the inside (as you do) is the noblest way of knowing.
