There’s beauty in the cracks
And how they get refilled,
Perfection refined,
Down to a level
Humans like us can
Conceive.

This reminds me of kintsugi, the Japanese art form of filling the cracks of broken things with gold filament. Sometimes they even break plates, cups, etc. on purpose to transform them into works of art. And the most beautiful people I know are people who have been broken and mended.
Thank you, and kintsugi is what was in my mind when I was writing this
