Cold Wounds That Burn and Illuminate the Path
Gathering around the blues of life,
Grey clouds signifying defeat and strife.
Thunder and lightning, synonymous with the struggle long.
Fire within burning like the determination strong.
Cold rain pouring on the wounds that burn,
Soothing within, yet kindling the fire, the fire to learn.
The lessons of life and scars of fights,
Bearing witness to your strength.
Evolving, building up and retaining your trait clement.
As the rain satiates the thirst of the Earth,
The penchant for learning quenches my yearning for growth.
The rain of wisdom blooming in my soul.
Taking me towards the light from the dark black hole.
