Mara

A Poem by Michelle Tarnowski

Hurt turning to bitterness

Drink from the spring of Mara

Drink deep the waters bitter flow

Quench thy thirst with anger

Let hurt within you grow

A costly path to choose

Filled with thorns that were so sharp…

They cut the soul until

A drop of blood did start.
