Journey to Forgiveness
The evening wind blows in my mind while the morning mist rises beneath my feet
I reach in deep, reaching past the emptiness, grasping for emotions from
memories sweet
I look for myself amidst the mountains and waterfalls
This is where my mind puts me, but I am not here, there is a wall
I see him on the other side, waiving for me to come
But I turn and he’s here, holding me back saying “that’s not your home”
A wall of emptiness unexplained; my heart cannot pass
I want to go with him to this paradise just out of grasp
How is he urging me forward and yet pulling me away
I look at him to ask why he continues to hold me at bay
A tear runs down his face and as I look down my heart breaks
I am the one holding the spirit he has tried so hard to escape
“Let me go” he pleads, “so I can hurt you no more”
“Why do you hold me when he waits just beyond the door?”
I look back at the one waiving, he smiles and calls to me…
“I am here my love, where you’ve always wanted me to be.”
He’s there, in the peace I’ve always dreamed we’d share
So why am I holding on, I want to be with him there
I begin to tremble, “I’m afraid to let go” I say
“If I let go he may come and find us one day”
“You can never move forward if you continue to hold on” he warns
“We will always be just out of reach of each other until you let go of his arm”
“Just close your eyes and reach for me, the emptiness trapping you will melt as
the snow
I am waiting for you to join me, but to find peace, you must let my past go”
Forgive completely
or let go completely
...I let go, and he came back...
