Forgiveness Frees

Waking to a promising morn, refreshed from healthy brand new sleep, you will realize all kept, old scorn that you have yet to cleanly sweep. You will sip pain in your coffee, spy it all day sharing your seat. When allowed, anger will vent spree through thoughts in a constant repeat. Anger feeds when you sit to dine, lathers as you take a shower, shows in a book between each line, festering and growing power. Only forgiveness will bring light to ease the plight of each felt slight. ... CayCay September 24, 2015

Really nice use of personification - vivid images, CayCay. So important that we don't let the negative own us. A well written, wise sonnet with very creative, descriptive poetic phrases. Congratulatios!

Dear CayCay Forgiveness is truly a hard task for some, but to me it is the only way to live, what good does it do anyone to hold on to anger, it takes away from the joy of life that you could be having, and life is just to short to worry about such things as hatred, anger or ignorence, let it go and move onwards and live each day to the fulfillest, cheri

Also, when you harbor anger against someone they become as a prisoner in your mind where you are also imprisoned, constantly watching over them. Such anger then has power over you, stealing your thoughts and energy. Very wasteful. CayCay

The path to peace is through forgiveness, and without we do fester. Sometimes we have to wipe the blackboard (telling my age now!) clean. Very well illustrated CayCay

Darn it, Mark - our ages are none of our business - if we were to pay attention to them we would severely limit ourselves. (don't forget to clap the erasers together after cleaning the board.) Thank you for commenting ... CayCay
