Forgiveness
Forgiveness has bones
It has a brain
It uses logic
And common sense
Forgiveness goes about
Finding a common ground.
It shows up in common places.
It happens unsuspected.
Forgiveness allows one to
Name the thing that happened.
Forgiveness gives one a way
To see it for what it was.
Forgiveness provides for the
Empty spaces in conversation
And allows one to listen
And grieve outside of one’s own experience.
Forgiveness walks into a situation
And remembers.
But walks with peace
And knows calmness.
Forgiveness has an earpiece
On the heart
And a microphone
At his mouth
Saying the words that
Forgiveness has given him.
Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear.
Forgiveness looks alone.
But He’s always always
Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness.
Forgiveness can stand alone though.
It doesn’t melt away or dissipate
With time.
Forgiveness is that little happy wren
On your shoulder
Forgiveness sings songs in your ear to
Keep you from falling apart.
Forgiveness lets you grieve
But shows you how you’re
Better than you were.
Forgiveness finds a way
To reach out
And shake a hand
Meet the eye of your enemy
And hug the ones who
Especially needs to be forgiven.
Forgiveness is rather important.
