Today’s word is “maugre” ... in spite of; notwithstanding. (Dictionary.com)
Tracks
It is surprising that in maugre
childhoods of unease and fear,
Somehow lives find a path
that lead to wholeness.
Faced with unpredictable parents
and rules impossible to follow,
the turns are sharp and unexpected.
Negotiating feelings and perceptions,
refusing to believe lies about
themselves, they thrive.
Holding on to some small hope,
is enough sometimes. Grateful
for a vision of the future
they carry on.
