Aftermath

Aftermath

Living through the deprivation
	of the silence and solitude
of former injuries afflicted, 
we come to a new conception of scars in battle, 
they serve a purpose, reminding us that 
we may have suffered from the wounding,
but their presence denotes a well fought fight,
and a strengthening of spirit. 
Round Two?
