A Reason

Wrinkled edges in my youth 
Flesh, proximal to the bones 
"solarised" Melanin, kindred to burnt sacrifice 
Sketched bruises, signs of storms weathered 
The "hour glass",  a testimony of lemons  through sands

Stitches in pattens 
Indelible stamps of artistry 
A picturesque of terror subjected 
testament to the other side of the  "honey pot "

Spirit in eternal warfare 
Reality under scrutiny 
Belief, far fetched 
Embodiment of Confusion 

Why Smile?, Push through?, Believe?, or Love?
................
HE, within me,
a reason for the reason.
