“Go forth on your path as it exists only in your walking" - unknown

Beauty in scars
Wisdom in the broken
Strength in failures, rejections
Imperfections
In the seen and the unseen

Ancient philosophies
Like nouveau fragments of rays
Atop a pillow of moving clouds
Venus rising
Athena’s grace
Invisble cosmic rays shooting from the moon
She rises
Once adrift in the dark blue light of night

Beleaguered in shadows and smoke
Now her purpose shines clear
It’s secure
Sealed
She no longer sits at tables where she’s not welcomed
Now she carves out her own
And all are invited
I see you
I see your beauty
I see the wonder of your scars
I see the genius
Pain has made her beautiful
Refined from the suffering she’s endure
She walks with a stride most perfect

Baptized in pain
And surrounded by an aureate light
Composed and other wordly
Perfection is visibly seen
But only to the trained eye
And yes, she rises
She rises
