Nature In Balance

My view of Breast Cancer, its effects, and the ability to overcome and conquer.

She stands alone, her age unknown.
Her scars, some minor,
others,
deep, jagged, ripped away;
now healed,
tell her history of savagery and disease.

I imagine her pain,
a limb destroyed or rotted by disease,
the years are many she suffered deformity.
I marvel at her strength and process
allowing her to rebound and survive.

I see beyond her scars and see the beauty within.
She gave me the wisdom to understand,
what happens in nature,
happens in man.

A reminder of what had been a symbol,
not of an end,
but a new beginning.
The beauty in what remains;
nature in balance once again.
