Forgiveness, rising up
from the depths
of the heart,
is as necessary
for cleansing the air
we all breathe
as the spring rains
that nurture and
serve Life.
On the road
to self-discovery,
you will come upon
a place and time for forgiveness,
the giving and receiving of it,
unless you have made that turn
leading to a dead end.
I long to see
what I cannot see;
I long to hear
what I cannot hear.
And yet I wait
in patience and peace
because I have learned
to trust in the longing.
