Guard Your Spirit

Their words may cut like sharpened blades,

And stir within relentless waves.

Darkened thoughts can twist and drown,

Pulling inside, spirits down.

Yet light still flickers through the dark,

A steady flame beyond the arc.

Look closely, peace is drawing near,

One gentle breath can quiet fear.

Do not answer rage with flame,

Stillness shields the heart from pain.

Guard your spirit in nature’s calm,

And release each hidden qualm.
