Layer’s of Being #1
sun-drenched bark openings
wind-beaten to the core
stand up tall
extending yourself for more

Layer of Being #2
fear not the tear
binding us to one another
outer trappings uncover
the inner core

Layer’s of Being #3
patching ourselves
with momentary strength
healing scars
choose life-giving blood or hardness

Layers of Being #4
sepia colors replenish
the hues of life
the lines and colors
revealing the beauty within
