Deeply carved into our skin
a secret is revealed;
a star belongs in each of us
when layers are repealed;
when knife meets flesh, the blood is drawn,
imbedding seeds of doubt –
but trials are the only way
our star is wrestled out.

Thank you, Linda!
This is So Great, Melody–up there with my favorites of yours! God bless you abundantly–love, Caddo
This is one of my favorites, too – as soon as I looked up and saw that star, I knew a poem was being born… 🙂
I can So relate!!
Our birches have such a hard time to survive around here… That’s a gorgeous tree.
The beach we were at was lined with them – it was so pretty.
