Pain is the nakedness that comes under the cold harmattan wind;
Grotesque and gruesome in repose!
But like a pupa in metamorphosis, intrinsic for the big bang;
Charles Darwin!
Love is but a narcotic to the brain, immersing your mental
faculties to the Dolly Parton, Kenny Rodgers duet, “I love you to the
Moon and back!”
Leaving you lonely in a desperate, “Jolene, Jolene, please don’t
take him just because you can!”
To know pain is to know love, for to live one has to know the
Intercourse between heaven and earth!
Like a farmer with cutting shears, life prunes the innocent
childhood arrogance and ignorance!
Wounds heal, leaving scars so ugly they are beautiful!
Pain is a necessary evil, woven into the tapestry of life!
To go through it is to go through a furnace, to come from it
is victory; rebirth!
