Divine Forgiveness
Stream of errant emotion spurts out of your mind,
scathing currents erode the brittle banks.
The mistaken course pervades unrelentably,
and drowns deep the pieces of my broken heart.
If compassion could change the aberrant channel,
within contours of forgiveness I’d embrace you.
You’d find ahead a turning meander for the soul
that would flow to the placid bay of bliss.
You stoke the contrived fire of betrayal,
consuming the canopy of verdant longing.
The flame rages uncontrollably untamed,
and burns the flowers together we'd bloomed.
If tolerance could dowse the deviant fire,
I’d shower divine rains of forgiveness on you.
You’d find silver lining around melting clouds,
and we'll walk life to the realm of rainbow.
For God bestows mercy on mortal sinners,
to err is human; to forgive, divine.
(Inspired by : "To err is human; to forgive, divine" - Alexander Pope.)
