Rashani, "Learning To Sing"

"There is a brokenness out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness out of which blooms the unshatterable.
There is a sorrow beyond all grief that leads to joy,

and a fragility out of whose depths emerges strength.

There is a hollow space too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness we are sanctioned into being.

There is a cry deeper than all sound,
whose serrated edges cut the heart as we break open 

to the place inside which is unbreakable and whole,

while learning to sing."

- Rashani
