Scars Ripple

A wretched fear defeated,
a monster laid to rest.
From victory, new sanctity,
a home in Eden’s garden;
flowers from the ashes of pain
sheltered by walls of never forget.

Again darkness chokes beauty;
rigid grasps fell stars like sand.
The farm lay barren and wild calls.
Gods cast long shadows,
to hide their demons.
Consumed again, the old enemy smiles...
