Wound around the wounds
Life inflicts upon us
Can be tender kindness
If we allow it.
Do not lash out
Stay the defensive urge
Accept the offered hand
Do not fear vulnerability.
Rest in other’s decency
Heal nurtured by love
Accept you aren’t alone.
For dVerse’s quadrille challenge hosted by Lillian. Aim is to write a poem of 44 words that uses both meanings of ‘wound’.
