Conquest

The image - courtesy of Tess Kincaid  'The Mag' 

The plan was to accept everything in one pack. Who knew the mending could take a time…
The winning growl echoed in the heaven, burst the roofs of a team.
The rows of healed have been replenished.
Shivering, the bloody root was extracted.
The wisdom of knowing, of ‘why’ has settled in the heart.

    an interesting mix in your verse
    the wolf pack imagery up front...
    the bloody root extracted
    sometimes that must happen
    before true healing can

    mending does take time and sometimes bloody roots need to be extracted...intriguing lines...

    That is quite an image to work from and you have incorporated the words very well to fit your theme.

    Life often hands us experiences that feel like pulling teeth. You know it has to be done, you know it's going to hurt, so you take a deep breath and yank it out. And often there is a sense of peace when it's done.

    Knowledge...gaining it is so often painful. (and the fact that I have a root canal in the morning made this poem cut me even more deeply).

    Mending takes time but the end of your poem suggests serenity can be found.
