Transcendence

Lost souls danced in discontent.

The setting sun kissed the sea as a lipsticked lover seducing with wine

whilst a gentle breeze soothed the land like lotion in a caress of reason.

All in an effort to redeem lives and ease the burdens that had been marinating in malice for generations ...

Saved by gentle, redeeming Nature! I love your use of words and similes and I think the 'burdens that had been marinating in malice' may well have been soothed. Lovely poem.
