[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
