Ground pressed cold against your palms
Breath shook inside your chest
A broken cry filled the silence
A spirit sought its rest
Pulse gathered lost conviction
Heat moved through steady bone
A trembling stance found balance
A fall loosened its throne
Eyes lifted past the wreckage
Skin met the newborn air
A dawn traced rising outlines
A soft renewal stirred there
Stand within recovered rhythm
Let healing crown your call
Life honors every fighter
Who rises after a fall
