Strewn like petals on the ground
are the fruits of perseverance,
the rosy red so endearing
now that the blood of making
them bloom has finally soaked up.

The throbbing scars of trials now calmly perch themselves as the chinks in my armour of war against life.

The chinks that glitter
as I seat myself triumphantly upon the throne of satisfaction.
