Loves Oxygen

Frequently stating the world was dead against me,
I thought junctures and circumstances the enemy !
I was not inclined to alter, being too disagreeable.
I accepted any bitter twists as an absolute normal.
.....................................
It was when love arrived that I chose to strike out,
For a place where more reason could come about !
This home would foster the fresh resilient outlook.
I learnt with resolve to breathe rather than choke.
.....................................
So, love encouraged a path seemingly abandoned.
Love rekindled the pure passion too long rejected.
I thank it for freeing me from the tragic obscene !
It was the power to cleanse a soul of the extreme.
