Restoration.


Bare. Exposed

Heart red and raw, pulsing weakly, pushing on

Bruised. Purple

White lines mark old scars

Ugly without restoration within.

Ashes.

 

Green buds. Pushing upward

Faint light glowing light in the coals.

Stitches.

Flowers peeking out

Vines, climbing, binding.

 

Growth meshing with destruction.

Beauty with the pain.

Restoration
