Wounds and Scars

Trauma can rend
By cut and blow
While age it tends
To wear down slow
(And both will show)
By scar and mark
The changes wrought
By light and dark
We are the story
Of such times
Seen as blessing
Or as fines
They are the tales
Of our short days
And speak the truths
Of our small ways.
