pause
you might want to notice how far you've come
stop
step back
then turn around
to once again face
that which you
already defeated
the mountains climbed
raging rivers crossed
deserts survived
see your own success
each match met by you
the clear winner
over every foe
allow the awe
to fill you until
your shoulders drop
all muscles release
and just inhale
the wonder one feels
absorbing the magnitude
of a war-torn life in reverse
wonder may well
soften the ache
bruises from battle fade
smoke thins
flags lower
surrender hits
quiet enters the stillness
only whispers of old echoes
sometimes a sigh
heals broken bones
and sometimes it heals souls
