Finally my blood began to coagulate; crimson hues slow dance to the musical notes of healing, and the symphony scores a pattern, weaving the fabic of fibrin into a tapestry like a warrior's victory blanket. Blood again flows like a river finding its course unhindered, and I rise and live on; scars on my body a reminder of the battle fought and won, every heartbeat a testament to where I belong.

Thank you. It is always a challenge to write from a prompt. Fun though.

fabulous take on the contest! I see the depth in the symbolism of bleeding--could be emotional bleeding that one believes coagulates only to wake up and find the blood flows again???? best wishes with the contest...creative this poem is! enjoy your day, Sara
