1.  Once Again

Anger is a creature that lives within us

like a fiery dragon

Don't run from it

Use its heat to cleanse

every last remnant

of what you don't want

Dress yourself in white garments

and walk down to the river

Water cools the burning

All is healed

The anger dissipates,

the embers shine soft

Flow into the river of life 

peaceful, once again

 

2.  Justice

The lies of others

have nothing to do with me

It is not my job to correct them

They have to correct themselves

My job is to live in my truth

bravely, peacefully

Life has a way of self-correcting everyone,

eventually

We may not see it

but it happens

In Divine Justice

there is no retribution

but there is profound learning

Worry not about correcting others 

Focus on the "log in your own eye"

and walk in joy

 

3.  Vision

I watched the world go up in flames

I watched the world descend in torment

I grabbed my sword to fight my demons

I climbed to the highest mountain

and tried to fly

I crashed

I burned

I rose

anew

and laughed

The angels rang in the chorus

songs of peace and freedom

I sang

I learned to fly

I saw the world fresh in flowers

I saw the world rise in joy

I saw
