Notes About The Poem

For Ink Empresses Field of Forgiveness contest

Field of Forgiveness

Is your soul black 
Like an acrobat
Does heart flip
Trip then crack

Because you didn’t win
Or maybe you lost a friend
Could be you did sin
Or have ways to mend

There by the green tree
Is forgiveness for you
Forgiveness for me
On either side love a blue sea

Do you see 
denim destiny
Letting go of the most
dear things to esteem

Rise above the tides
Of life’s dilemma like bird
Keep your eyes on the prize
And in your heart winged word

Forgiveness is the lightest load
Be you small shy silent
Or boisterous big bold
Water your spirit holy soul
Forgiveness is the way to do so

Forgiveness does mend the heart Karen. It's as you say. I've found that I have lost all my anger and can focus on the present with much more clarity. It lets me fly! Smiles....you get it completely!
