Scar Tissue

The ragged jagged
Dark wrinkly skin
Reminds me
I survived-
Time forgives,
Tempests pass,
Life renews.
Dead cells
Give way
To dewy
Soft brownness.
The rainbow
Shines only
Against plainness.
Darkness enlightens
More than light.
Scar tissue humbles
Me with the thought
Life is best lived
Sans regret.
