SOUL

silent wounds turn stubborn into strength,
over broken earth, courage takes slow root,
under each scar, light relearns the language of living.

Thank you so much, Sara! I’m glad you enjoyed it. ?? Just a little fun note—the letter “l” is right next to “scar,” like in “light.” You could say it’s all about alignment in the third light. Haha
