Poetry Picture Challenge May 17

Wizardry

 

I may be vindictive

But I know better

than to waste my wishes

on revenge.

I may be righteously enraged

But I know violence

heals no wounds

creates no peace

gives no solace

I have learned through misery

that expectations are heralds

of disappointment, prophets

blind and diseased.

Better to envision calm

vistas, pleasing to sensation,

happy successful scenes, merry

and blessed, when wishes

are conceived.
