Strength

Written by: Droch Ammanas Xanatov

Whence is there anger
for one free from anger,
tamed,
living in tune--
one released through right knowing,
calmed and such.

You make things worse
when you flare up
at someone who's angry.
Whoever doesn't flare up
at someone who's angry
wins a battle
hard to win.

You live for the good of both
--your own, the other's--
when, knowing the other's provoked,
you mindfully grow calm.

When you work the cure of both
--your own, the other's--
those who think you a fool
know nothing of Strength.

Penned by my hand on the 12th of Chronos, in the year 521 AF.
