Goodness & Might

let this anger sit with me
for just a bit more
and then let my love swallow it up
with things that I adore

my heart my heart
in gentle rhythm it beats
to the waves of the sea
to cicadas on trees
and to the morning chickadee

my love my love
it pours expansively
upon a world filled with beauty
upon children living so innocently
and those who cannot pay back to me

I will continue to give
continue to live
full of kindness and might
I must not let hate in
oh this bitterness can’t win
with this goodness full of fight
