– Written In The Flesh –
I hide my scars from older times
deep beneath these black ink lines;
I trace the map of my stability,
feeling my fragility and my frailty,
finding my way through my future
with these more practical fractals.
When the moments of doubt are closest at hand,
when the memory of my history is raw like a wound,
I reach even farther for the heights that once daunted me,
I strive even harder to keep myself aligned.
Written in the flesh to remind me,
I know now where my heart resides.
