why?
is it wrong to ask?
is it wrong to want to know?
no.
questions are not wrong,
unless they are the wrong questions—
even then,
truth reveals itself.
broken vessels
have no control over their state,
each one handled uniquely.
yet cracks merely reveal
what rests inside—
emptiness, a lingering shade,
or uncontainable treasure
beaming in regal radiance
from the surrounding light.
