) Floating lightly in chosen restraint (non-rhyming)

May:

a crackling fire roar warming our chilled hearts
thaw the icicles of self absorption

a gallant gale scatter the heavy thoughts
howling through the dank caves of our darkness

a brisk river douse our seething anger
firmly sweep it out into the deep sea

a gentle swell cradle our gnawing fears
the hot summer sun dry our soggy soul

we not suffer in self-imposed constraint
but live freely in the choice of restraint

+)
-restrain = the ability to voluntarily moderate one’s passions
-swell = the undulating wave (non-breaking) movement on the open sea
