The Inward Man



Day after day the outward man crumbles and breaks down, and the inward man is born and grows in wisdom and knowledge. Thomas Merton
Leaf-bare,
swaying, slave
to the storm, I wait 
for the gale 
to drive me down, 
dismember me
scatter my shattered limbs 
across winter’s ground,
while deep inside
my cambrian core
life persists! 
I’ll survive. 
Beyond my limit
I will arise!
