The 7 in 7 poem challenges writers to pen just one line a day. I focused on an individual I know that is overcoming a painful past. This week old issues resurfaced, and I watched from the sidelines, astonished by the pain inflicted and her courage during her time of healing.

Each morning disperses an unknown plot,

Each page brandishes a novel theme.

One in this tale cries of a battle fought.

Her strength and willpower move,

As her aching soul begins to mend.

I hold my breath in anticipation.

Longing for a restorative end.
