is it a wound or a scar – v2

I can relate, I probably have
this situation, open wounds
masking as scar tissue;
it may seem obvious
the way of our flesh
the wounds open, oozing,
the scars as smooth as glass;
but within our spirits
though forgiveness
may have left our lips
forgiveness may have been spoken
we may have repented of the past;
but the wound still may be open.
We must all ask,
in our prayers, in the quiet,
is it a wound or a scar?
We will only know in the connection
when the rubber hits the road
and we see the “guilty” party.
