He reminds himself to see, To remember what it’s like To still feel And for each wound he’ll bear Are reminders to the world That he is still there In debt to the price paid Worth more than the simple tokens At his feet laid For the sacrifices are far greater Than the rewards sometimes, But make good theater He tempers his resolve With faltering confidence As his world revolved Reliving moments in his mind With a cold, cruel cut Each and every time Penance exacted once again By another form of prayer For another kind of sin |

I'll have to return again and read this poem. It's not my first time to stop and read here - it's just one of those poems that is difficult for me to respond to. It's thought provoking and unsettles me a bit - makes me think that maybe I am too complacent. I like it, CG. There's nothing wrong with shaking me up a bit and making me think. Nothing at all.
