Forgiveness



The essence of it often

Overwhelms

Smothering with kindness and love
Troubles that get in the way

Doubt slayer and ghost eradicator
In the wink of an eye

A tender smile on faces saddened
By time and place

Flush with renewed expectations
Turbulent waters of emotion recede

Crisp as the breath of autumn air
Piercing the future with promise

Of hope, forgiveness and peace

Finally a place to rest my head

Guided by incalculable wisdom
Experience and trust

Effortlessly

As your gentle hands
Caress the soft cushion of my hair

Between fingers laced with destiny
