Forgiveness

Life felt light, Once I removed the grudge That had grown in my heart, Growing healthily to such an extent That it had become a carnivorous monster Ready to gobble myself up in its huge cavity! Life felt light, So much that I wondered If those who despised me Would smile at me Or even send out good intentions Towards me Being themselves scattered dandelions Assembled in a bouquet! Life felt light When the dark night opened its eyes To a small but shiny rainbow Spread all over the expanse of dawn Allowing us all to be, That which we were once, But that which we have forsaken, So easily, as easily as fools Fall for the false pleasures of this fake world! Yes, life felt really light When I chose to adorn myself With the shimmer of forgiveness Inscribed in the folds of my soft soul It was almost, as if, I could hear magical mantras on a full moon night Or even feel the pulses of a tarot card reading As it harmonizes with the circumstances Dancing in front of me! For, Forgiveness Is nothing else other than The ability to understand That all souls are mere victims Of their own prescribed fates And nothing else Can save them from themselves Other than their own higher consciousness!
