Fury

Be furious.

Yes, seethe, teeth clenched in the sour,

to satiation.

Be furious

at the unfairness,

the injustice,

the despicable,

the deplorable,

the unbearable,

the unspeakable pain.

Sit with it and let it penetrate,

reverberate,

exacerbate,

annihilate.

Then use your fury as fuel,

or it will consume you from the inside out.

Expose to me those dazzling flames.

Parade for me that raging fire.

Delight me in your smoldering embers.

Reveal to me your smoke and ash.

Paint your skin with the warm soot,

like you are readying yourself for battle.

Overwhelm me with the stench of your singed skin.

Show me transformation and renewal.

Show me the power of your anger

and the impact of your rage

by the change you create in this world.

Carry the burden if you must,

for those that are unable to bear it.

I’ll join you,

for I share with you the storm of darkness

and the agonizing desire for light.

Let’s make this fury matter.
