ANGRY LOVE

Rage got the best of his world.
It turned him upside down,
It threw him off the cliff
without a second thought.

But then this rage became
a polished jewel,
and a smooth way
of thinking about the truth;

Now it’s like the ice
of a great frozen lake
and he can skate across it
for many miles

and he can love it fully
for exactly what it is.
