Answer 1

Love Remains True

the initial reaction repulsive

depression for the unknown

dissection takes away disease

healing the process of time

the scar a reminder of what was endured

becomes insignificant through understanding

love remains true

I wrote this poem to a wonderful friend suffering through breast cancer and the removal of her breast. It has no impact in our relationship. Love and understanding overcome obstacles.

Nature In Balance

She stands alone,

her age unknown.

Her scars,

some minor,

others,

deep,

jagged,

ripped away;

now healed,

tell her history of savagery and disease.

I imagine her pain,

a limb destroyed or rotted by disease,

the years are many she suffered deformity.

I marvel at her strength and process allowing her to rebound and survive.

I see beyond her scars and see the beauty within.

She gave me the wisdom to understand,

what happens in nature,

happens in man.

A reminder of what had been a symbol,

not of an end,

but a new beginning.

The beauty in what remains;

nature in balance once again.

Dedicated to a very dear friend who in the face of adversity--conquered.
