When the Fighting is O’r

My next step 

In life

Begins today

I rise 

From confusion

Surrounded 

By debris

I take 

A deep breath

Battle complete

Healing begins

The wounds 

Not mortal

But life altering, 

Nonetheless

There is victory 

In defeat

When the fighting

Is o’er

Life resumes

Perhaps not 

As it was

But with 

A new perspective

Time is my friend

Eternity is reality

I focus 

On what 

Must be

I release 

My disappointment

I assess 

My situation

And Thank God 

For Now
