Prologue
A few incidents have brought to mind that unchecked rage can have consequences.
Rage destroys long-standing relationships and place one in difficult situations.
But remembering to be kind and patient to all concerned, including the self, puts out the flames and points to the right way.

Flames coursing high,
Fire spreads from burnt embers,
Swallows all in its crimson pathβ

It waits, smoulders,
Fumes rising, intimidating
But embers snuff
With time.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of usβ¦ my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the dayβs oppressive heat.
