After the Storms

Roots of forgiveness
Anchored my soul
Quest for awareness
Of what couldn't be seen
Swayed within my thoughts
Of different choices
That I would make
Knowing that the consequences
Would come as the lessons
To refine my selfish heart
and humble my pride
So when I felt low
Was when I was teachable
And the sun seemed to rise
Just a little bit higher
The morning after...
...the storms had passed

An excellent write. I read it as a treatise on rage and redemptive aftermath, therefore, a much-appreciated identification with the sublime. Plus, I like the gentle way this conclusion is reached by the author. One for the compendium!
