The strongest of characters
Are marked with scars
Etchings of experience
Seared into skin
The fine white strokes -
Woeful whispers
Of what once plagued them.
Cobwebs of caution
Trail tired limbs -
A protective web,
A raucous reminder,
A calligraphic cartograph
Of a traversed path.
Reading between
These faded lines
You see the truth,
The strength,
The wisdom -
Comprehend
That wounds heal
Over time;
That worn with pride,
Scars are stars
Guiding us
Beyond the darkness.
