Anger bubbling, rubbing and roaring
Rising from the deep well within Destruction follows in its wake A ruining path to oblivion Control does slip and slide away Hatred tightens up its grip To the edge and then just past Patience now has been forfeit Let the Beast climb from its hole Part of you held inside Breaking, bashing, bridges crashing No where to go run and hide FREEDOM POWER Restraint no more capped on these urges Come forth like a rising tide The waves come strong in great surge Upon hate this storm does ride Destructive beast rap, rapping at the door In the fires of anger born Peaceful states ripped and torn It wants more…more…more Anger hurting, burning, spurting Drives away both friends and fam Alone and wrathful if not careful Is how this path will see you land Niceness past, vicious present Who knows what the future holds All this time, joy can grow Roots take find space in the crack and holes Turn back to peace, return to people Those who know you best and care With this group the truth of feelings Should one not be in fear to share Anger’s day, Anger’s week, Anger’s years in time shall pass Fear not the beast, ask it to tea, embrace all of your shadows cast Destructive beast know; no need to fear In the joys of anger born To the cause of wholeness sworn It comes near…can you hear?

In the pale morning light
As the sun struggles its rise from behind clouds in a vice I am a dragon Cold fire breath Cold wind from the east scours heat from face and breath from lungs The ocean lies to the east Go far enough and the ocean is every way Trees changing leaves prepare to take leave Morning light broken, the flower of sunrise in full bloom Crisp orange petals Long white stems Red blossoms fill the morning sky Flower dragon Breathe See Think how far that light has traveled For your eyes only Lucky lizard up on the perch Alone in the cold Naught but fading colours and leaves for company That and the FIRE A dragon's constant companion Force and heat Can I ignite the sky once more? Sun burns high now Risen with all its golden glory Few greater spectacles in our corner of our universe Pale morning pass to bright day The dragon's rise eto |
