Tangled lives, Tangled paths

Strong are the hurts endured
Long are the cures for same  
Some never heal completely  
Some alter us beyond end

Always there is logic to paths we choose  
But is that logic true?  
I see so clearly into other lives  
I wonder about my own

Is my logic also flawed?  
Do others see it in me?

We flee to keep old hurts from being repeated on us  
But in so doing do we miss out on greater joy?  
If we do not understand and learn  
Are we doomed to be ruled by the past?

Our Clan is strong  
And in it we find our own strengths and Gifts  
May we each learn from ourselves and each other  
How our logic is flawed

May we learn how to heal it  
Though always there will be a scar  
So that we may truly go on  
And our travels take us far
