Field of forgiveness

belied expectations 
caused feeling of hurt
inability to let go
made resentment spurt

the earth rotated
and seasons changed
but the ego-mind
remained deranged

reinforced by thought
suffering amplified 
soul’s light within heart
seemed to have died

the witch doctor
offered a cure
choose cessation
and make heart pure

stagnation is death
flow like the breeze
sensations any
embrace and release

what causes shadows
that opaques light
ego is the blockage
which diminishes delight

first forgiveness 
a Ho’oponopono prayer
then acceptance
spake the soothsayer

the bubble of anger
burst noiselessly in the void
soul’s light was revealed 
pure and unalloyed
