Retribution



Photo taken at Green Mountain, Vermont (KsK)

The fire of retribution burns within, each dying ember embellishing a ghost upon the floor.
The ghosts of the past haunt me more and keep the fire burning still.
Yet, lost in the fire I can’t be;
For, to those whose senses are not under control, there can be no self-perception.
Without self-perception peace is lost; and without peace, happiness too.
And thus, I must let it go, and not forget;
“In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.”
