april songs (Theme 2):  elements of life 8

april song 18—steam  
 
when your life explodes with spelendour,  
you must take time to remember  
that a sudden surge of wet steam  
could devour, at once, your wet dream.  
 
when the trials of severe life  
whet your temper like a sharp knife,  
you should seek urgent appeasement,  
lest you blow your fuming steam vent.  
 
when the motion of the ocean  
bends your sweet love and devotion,  
let your liquid equilibrium  
be the consummate asylum  
 
for the turmoil you are facing.  
let the gentle, all-embracing  
dove of peace advance your spirit  
past the superheated minute.
