POEM - Bloom In The Wound

By Jacky Kapadia

By Jacky KapadiaPublished 5 months ago 3 min read

In a world that trembles, cracked and worn,

Where dreams lie shattered, hearts are torn,

A whisper stirs through fields of gray,

A silent promise, a brighter day.

The road is harsh, the journey long,

With every step, the soul grows strong,

Yet underfoot, the thorns will cling,

And shadows stretch with every swing.

But in the silence of the night,

When stars above lose all their light,

A seed is planted, deep within,

Where loss begins and scars begin.

A wound is born in sorrow's name,

A wound that burns, a wound that maims,

Yet from that hurt, a strength will rise,

Unseen beneath the tear-streaked skies.

For every ache that rends the soul,

Is the making of a heart made whole.

The pain that pierces, the weight we bear,

Will one day turn into something rare.

Beneath the ruin, under the skin,

The roots will dig and life begins.

The soil of hurt, the earth of grief,

Will sprout new hope, however brief.

And so, from sorrow's deep embrace,

The tender shoot will find its place—

A bloom that dares to pierce the ground,

A blossom from the deepest wound.

The petals curve with tender grace,

Yet know the struggle, know the race—

For what is strength but trials faced?

What is beauty, but the chase?

The wounds are not a mark of loss,

But proof of battles fought, the cost—

The price of courage, paid in full,

A heart that's scarred, yet beautiful.

With every tear that stains the cheek,

A stem will rise, though roots are weak.

For strength is not in what we see,

But in the love that sets us free.

The darkened days, the endless storm,

Are but the soil where we are born.

In times of hurt, in times of strife,

We bloom, and learn the taste of life.

The petals that emerge from pain,

Are touched with joy, though soaked in rain,

For light and dark together meet,

And form the flower at our feet.

Each bruise and scar that lines the skin,

Is proof of strength that lies within.

For though the wounds may never heal,

The beauty in them is all too real.

The scars, like veins, now pulse with power,

A lasting truth in every hour—

That from the darkest, deepest night,

A soul will bloom, and find its light.

So let the thorns that pierce the heart,

Not break the spirit, but impart

The wisdom learned in painful grace—

The bloom will rise, and take its place.

For in the wound, there lies the seed,

In the darkness, in the need,

A flower waits, and soars above—

A symbol of the power of love.

It is in grief that we are sown,

And in the storm, our strength is known.

The bloom that comes from all we’ve lost,

Is worth the trials, worth the cost.

When shadows whisper, when the night is long,

Remember: from the hurt, we belong—

For though the wound may seem so deep,

The bloom will rise, and never sleep.

It grows in silence, in the gloom,

A testament to life’s true bloom—

In the wound, in pain, in strife,

We find our strength, and taste new life.

We bloom in places others fear,

In barren lands, the soul is clear,

And from the hurt, we draw the sky,

A bloom that never fades, but flies.

So stand, though bruised and broken, stand,

For you are stronger than you planned.

And through the storm, through every tear,

The flower’s bloom will soon appear.

In every wound, there lies the grace,

To rise, to shine, to find your place.

And though the scars may never fade,

Your beauty, in your wounds, is made.

A flower from the heart of grief—

The bloom that bears the soul’s belief.

Through every hurt, through every scar,

We bloom, and reach for who we are.
