Poetic Yearnings: Forgiveness?

Forgiveness?

I tried to winnow out

Life

Abashed with ways to change the past

Blind

Because the past is what defines us

Good

Bad

How we cope with difficult things

Forgiveness

For ourselves and others transgressions

Survival

We cannot change the hurts

Forgiveness

But still the sufferings

Hurt

From those we love

Hide

Within our consciousness

Burning

Brightly in our dreams

Haunting

Forgiveness still on our lips

Forgetting

Not going to happen

Burning

Deep inside the cycle

Continues

Pretending that all is alright

Lingering

In consciousness burning bright

Hurting

Still hearing the words

Cutting

To my soul

Again

And

Again
Time to forgive

Again is the hardest word and yet also perhaps it is a chance to say enough and start again

Sadly that "again and again" will continue to hurt unless you shut it behind you and believe in "new every morning" for the past has gone. What an insightful poem Sheilagh.

How very noble, Sheilagh! Forgiveness brings the whole situation to a finer perspective. Forgiveness is a catalyst to bring sincerity to a whole new level!
