Wiser

Burning lessons sting
Everyday reshapes and molds
Scars wrinkle in time

  1. Your verses are a poetic meditation on how pain and the passage of time transform us. It tells us about the wisdom acquired not as a gift, but as an inevitable consequence of living, making mistakes, adapting and remembering.

    Receive a warm embrace from afar.

  2. Your poetry evokes so many images for me, I love it. This reminds me of when I was student struggling to learn new concepts. I can see that student in my mind, hard at work. Now that I’ve made it past those days I cherish the memory of hard work. Thank you.
