***
as the snow begins melting
tiny bits of life slowly emerges from the petrichor scented soil
sure signs of second chances, hopeful notions
and rebirth
peace comes after....
after the terror and trauma of the journey
peace rebuilds
recaptures
and comforts
allowing the bloom to awaken
never taking away from the pain
only soothing the wound
allowing the experience to shape
mold
form
and grow
rewarding resistance
the effort, with gentle caress
the owl howls its disapproval to the moon
the scab heals and falls away
revealing a newness like never before
the scar
symbolizes strength and vulnerability
beauty that has risen
creating traceable lines
a map
that leads to self love
from tending the tenderness beneath
and embracing
the hurt
