“Breaking:

Keep breaking,
For this is where living truly lies,
In all those dark places,
That held those lost and weary cries,
Because it's through all the breaking where your roots of strength are found,
Through all the mending,

Darling, let it break so you can let it go,
And you'll find the surge of healing power through the fiery skin of your soul.”
