Resentments, like embers
In a leaf pile waiting
For the breeze of rancour
To fan them to hot life.
Climbing, grasping and roaring
To suck the air of oxygen
To feed destruction
And choking bitterrness
Until the sad, soft tears
Of pain, regret, anger
Leave only ashes, black, smoking
Where once was beauty
But, from the waste,
When the heat has gone
A bud, greening,
Reaches for the sun.
Hoping.
