In Search of Peace

Never part in fierce anger, my friend.
Life is so short, let love be your end.
Anger is just a cluster of cold thunderstorms,
Let love be a show from various platforms.
For anger like storms are dark, black and sinister,
Rather than pour down soothing feelings like a minister, 
That calms the turbulence of your soul
And compassion will your heart control.

Like fleecy clouds that send a quiet drizzle.
Anger uncontrolled will bring a sizzle,
Penetrate your adversary with rapture, 
Purify and heartfelt emotions capture.

Remember only the sweetness you seasoned,
Forget the past and as you reasoned,
Hug and kiss and share your joys, 
Let us be men and not silly boys,
Piece your whole peaceful life, 
Do not let anything that reeks of strife.
Thus you'll patch your love, all is not as it seems
That fate might have shattered your dreams.

Life is too short, too important to live in an angry state. Well said, my friend!

The futility and destructiveness of anger, as compared to the inner peace to be found in letting it go is well attested by this beauty of a poem. :)

Anger is a temptress, first class in egging one on to a disastrous ending, only to turn around when all goes wrong, and say I told you so. First example in humanity. Adam an Eve - we don't know what she said, but it sounds feasible that she did. ANGER IS A WASTED EMOTION. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Your poetry resonated with me. Fury does nothing useful. The emotional and mental costs of anger are high.

So true, Victor. Anger damages the soul and burns the mind.

Thanks for sharing this work about keeping our lives in good standing with people we love. Getting angry is easy and piecing together the love and forgiveness is not easy, but we should always try to do so but try even harder to not let anything come between us. There is a song that I find very uplifting and inspiring entitled, "Nothing Between Us But Love Anymore" by the Oakridge Boys. You can find it on YouTube. I appreciate your visit to my page. Sara
