[Sunlight] Behind the face of anger -- Ghazal 2197



~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you see the face of anger
look behind it
and you will see the face of pride.
Bring anger and pride
under your feet, turn them into a ladder
and climb higher.
There is no peace until you become
their master.
Let go of anger, it may taste sweet
but it kills.
Don't become its victim
you need humility to climb to freedom.

            -- Ghazal (Ode) 2197
                Translated by Azima Melita Kolin 
                     and Maryam Mafi
