What is indestructible
Setbacks and losses
Tough as they are
Clarify.
Problematic paths are made apparent.
Pollyanna illusions get laid bare.
Sometimes storylines
So carefully constructed
Get destroyed.
But destruction has a silver lining.
Once
The chaos clears
And the dust settles
We’re left with
What is indestructible.
The essence of who we are
Unfettered
By assumptions
Of who we thought
We were supposed to be.
