Purification
Dredge out the poison
planted by bitter tongue
or twisted thought.
Love
is the antidote for hate.
Love is not passive—
its active clarity,
more powerful than intellectual weight
or analytic prowess in debate,
renews and heals.
An overflow of love
ejects the spite
and leaves you unaffected,
all protected—
radiant in its purity and light.
