Forgiven Sin a Sestina Poem
Thall shall not condemn the sin
In which he has lived in
Burning buildings always collapse
Like a thorn on a rose
Walking on shattered glass
Taking in your last breath
He comes to me holding his last breath
Does he feel the pain from his sin
You see a reflection in the glass
The long haired man steps in
He smells the aroma from a rose
Before he starts to collapse
The sin you hold will collapse
Sins can no longer breath
Being stoned from the smell of the rose
Enter the light and forget your sin
Let the long haired man in
Piece together the shattered glass
Save a piece of the shattered glass
There are reasons why it collapse
Accept the world in which you live in
Make this not be your last breath
Concur to all, rest your sin
Pull every thorn off the rose
Take your hand and cover the rose
Hide the cracks and shine the glass
Be ridden of your sin
Rebuild the buildings that collapse
It's getting easier to breath
Make a change in this world you live in
Remove the darkness and walk in
Fallen petals from a rose
You can now start to breath
No more fallen glass
Buildings no longer collapse
Forget the reasoning for your sin
Step in the reflection through the glass
Petals from the rose never collapse
Breath again, forgiven sin
