The Pangs of Calm
It’s been so many years that I somehow seem to have forgotten
In a way, the pain, the hurt once brutally begotten
But now as I reflect and inspect
That part of my heart that has been bruised
By hurtful words, reactions in anger
Vile thoughts all poured forth to linger
Somehow now seem to have subdued and died
Like the feelings that tormented me and cried
Damn you, vile creature of this Earth
I hate you forsake you and your miserable birth
Yet now I feel the storm has subsided and left
And I, a pang of nostalgia hits and sometimes leaves me bereft
Yet somehow I am treading the waters of my being
With a sense of calm, contentment and just seeing
That which enfolds me and my life’s purpose
It does not call for another to be a part of its circus
No, I am fine. I have overcome and moved on
My life is journeying forwards even though you are gone
