Scars

Our scars are proof that we didn’t dream our lives

‘Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.’
— Cormac McCarthy —

Scars are our taught lessons written in hieroglyphs,
Beautiful when seen by someone who loves us.
I shiver when you touch them to reach my soul.

Our scars are proof that we didn’t dream our lives.
Or is our body another dream in wider dreams
Nested into countless dimensions till the Unnameable?

Your Body is the Crucible of your Spirit
