When this violent tide 
eventually subsides 
and has abated 
breathe deep 
remember all the ones you hated 
the energy you spent 
on matters virulent 
for soon the winds of love will come 
and see your sails of anger 
float like seagulls, calm and sated 
For in this lies a clue 
the gentle breeze, while not the storm 
it has the power to subdue 
the raging breast, 
create the power of a love 
made manifest 
And see your fellow man 
not as a threat 
but as a flower that 
you hold within your hand 
for you are he and he is you 
and the fragile ache of memory 
you have to understand 
once he is gone 
will make you wish 
you had been kinder 
when all thats left is but 
an everlong 
and nagging deep regret 
as a reminder
