delicious pain

painful scars borne by a bug bite 
toxins therefrom causing deep pain 
melt in bliss mists that rise at night 
cool heat that cleanses our soul’s stain

from heart abode in witness mode
moment by moment, poised in time
in staid silence we break the code
that releases love’s bliss beat chime

Good imagery, Unseeking Seeker. I wish for relief for so many things plaguing me.

ah yes, Andrea, as body ages, some medical problem or the other is likely to manifest … we just need to accept and take it in our stride
