SCARLINES

Said the old one
To the young,
“You dare to study my scars?
You think to understand?
You will fail me!
It will take your life and then some
To map each and every mar.
You will never even come close
To my deepest central core.
For your lifeline will
Forever be short
Of mine, til I am gone…
But then, so the scars,
Will also be no more…”
