Trench

A trench 
is carved deep.

Cut into the earth—
a line that holds,
that shelters,
that separates.

It can protect.
It can confine.

A place to stand 
when the world feels too much.

We all have trenches—places we retreat to,
where we gather strength,
where we wait 
for the storm to pass.

But staying too long 
in the trench 
can make the sky 
feel distant.

I have learned 
that trenches 
are not meant
to be homes.

They are pauses.
Moments of survival.

And when the time comes,
we must climb out—slowly
,carefully—
and remember 
there is still 
a whole world 
above.
