circle of life

Pain
deep and encompassing, shattering the heart, breath intake nears annihilation

Recovery
long and painful, freshly closed wounds threaten constantly a rebirth

Scars
red and jagged, fault lines across an ancient volatile terrain

Careful
slow and steady, fear of pushing back into the unknown; potentially painful places

Sheltering
compassionate and suffocating, protection from the wicked ones

But more Strugging
sure and calculated, until awaking from this endless circle, transcendence realized.
