Awakening to realise
I am closer to me than I thought.
That sleep has been prolonged.
I am closer to me than I thought.
That sleep has been prolonged.
Such scars as there are
Have I thought been hidden.
Discovery of behaviour that
Puts ourselves on show
Makes our marks visible
And signal hurts that still exist.
Reminders in our techno-innocence
Pop up, tick tocking
Times are passing by.
Flashing recall in cold clarity
Leaves damage after passing.
Healing waves come to soothe,
sculpt, shield fragile fresh layers,
So they provide the identity
That forms me now.
