Dawn & Dusk

I feel the rage inside me
A rolling fury of sea
An eruption of fierce storms
Anger at what could have been
 
There is a seething, contorting mass
Residing in my soul
A hurricane of epic proportions
A viciousness I cannot control
 
All that anger
All of that rage
Is condensed into a thimble
A small, rattling cage
 
This tiny contraption
Is thrust into my heart
Hissing like a steam engine
Shaking these walls apart
 
As I gasp
Under the agonies of this strain
I feel that fury
Flowing through my veins
 
This time I open the hatch
And let the chaos out
An explosion of noise follows
As water and hot steam spout
 
As the steam condenses
Patterns in this mist I find
I’m reminded of a truth
One I knew deep inside
 
Redemption is a process
Let it take its time
Only in the present moment
Can contentment you find
 
And those disappointments
God will pay back one day
Every tear you have wept
He will wipe away
 
That searing anger inside
That frustration, that rage
Remember, that in the book of your life,
This is only the first page
