Poem written for and submitted to "Complete Monorhyme" poetry contest, Hilo Poet, sponsor, December 3, 2025
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The seed planted in frozen earth now grows, through storms and time, its tender stems arose. Once choked by thorns, stubborn, toward light it goes, No pleas for light—it takes what sun bestows. The moth unfurls from silk it once outgrows, the river carves the rock, no hammer slows. Wounds I wore now bloom in the vein I chose, old meanings dissolve where deeper Knowing flows. Stars fade as night gives way to dawn’s quiet repose~ my former self decays, unmourns, and does expose my ego, that internal script that age and turbulence depose. soul reshaped—my life is now stunning prose.
