Bridle the Beast, From the Archives
Art Source: Finartamerica.com
It’s the piece that stays with you
The one that won’t leave
The annoying brat that
Tugs at your sleeve
The haunting memory
That painful episode
The awkward rendezvous
That makes your head explode.
That which stays with you
Is the thing to examine
To gain some insight
To shift what will happen
So instead of the torment
You are blessed with release
Make peace with your past
Bridle the beast
From that moment on
Your days you may find
More peaceful and freer
As the tension unwinds
You may be astounded
By the expanse it creates
The gray of despair
Now colored with grace.
