Temper your rage toward others dear one
It blinds you and fogs the mirror.
Incapable of seeing yourself in others, hate festers,
Turning gangrenous, unable to heal.
What angers you is that which you cannot admit;
You are Siamese–connected by a tiny spark,
The spark of the soul, beyond our human frailties.
Anger, hate, race, creed, color melt away
When viewed in the brightness of Divine light.
Unconditional love takes up residence
Welcoming the essence of all into her warmth.
With this, differences can no longer survive…
And for once we can live in total peace.

Hasten the day, dear Lord, hasten the day.
Thank you Carol, I couldn’t agree more.

Thank you for the re-blog Gale, I appreciate your support.
So true and beautifully written.
Thank you very much my friend.
Beautifully said, Dominic. How ironic that to temper (tame) is related to our temper (rage)…language is quite intriguing.
It is indeed, subtleties of language can greatly change the meaning of a statement, thank you for the nice comment Cheryl-Lynn.
