Fettered anger's final freedom!
The lightning fork of rage
thrust deep into 
sluggish cross humility

Thunderbolts of feeling 
come roiling forth
as aftermath--
releasing tensions, pain.

Held captive for
eternity it seems!
Now, joy surfaces
self bondage severed.

At last, healing rain
of tears softens, 
moistens the parched
earth of my grateful body.
