This is in response to Esther’s Weekly Word Prompt.
This week’s Prompt is : Edge
***
Let’s make pain a part of memories
Let’s fold and keep it in a corner
And unfold it when the night deepens
Till it’s edges get frayed and prints light
Edging through the curvy paths of life
Edging past the landmarks and milestones
Let’s make it an edge-of-the-seat drive
A process to know oneself , one’s tenacity,
Resilience and the indomitable spirit to rise
Let’s make pain a close friend for life
With whom you can share your plight
Weep in delight or in shame or in slight
Let’s make pain a second name to soul
To make you rough at the edges or a whole
Let’s endear and embrace it so tight
So that it can neither leave nor be put aside
Let’s make pain our very own mirror of mirth
Let’s let it rule , rebel , rouse and come forth
Let’s make pain a part of our sentient being
So as neither let it hurt , break or make us vain
Dear friend, a beautifully written piece, turning pain into strength and self-discovery is truly powerful and inspiring.
