Forgiveness - Sq

"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins" (Mark 11:25)


The air was still, the morning misty cold,
and birds were singing melodies sweetly loud;
I shook off my dreamy dream and felt the chill,
the morning misty cold, the air was still.

I stretched and yawned, rising from my bed,
the last wispy threads of sleep now shed;
I brushed my long hair till no tangles were found,
rising from my bed, I stretched and yawned.

As I touch him sweetly, I whispered awaken my love,
he spoke cruel words and jumped up raising his fist above;
he looked ugly and my heart was scarred completely,
I had whispered awaken my love, as I touched him sweetly.

The cliff rose high, the sea beat the jagged rocks,
I was shattered and wanted to die for my heart held only locks;
no beautiful rapture laid within my soul as I looked at the sky,
the sea beat the jagged rocks, the cliff rose high.

Weeping in this lonely place, I prayed to the Lord then,
forever I vowed,  I will write forgiveness with my mighty pen;
I will write amazing poetry- like birds gliding with wings of grace,
I prayed to the Lord then, weeping in this lonely place.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/21/2019 3:11:00 AM The contrast of the loveliness issued toward him and his reaction is not that uncommon unfortunately, and made me sad. " I whispered awaken my love, he spoke cruel words and jumped up raising his fist above;" Great job, Constance. Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 3/23/2019 7:29:00 AM Caren, thank for visiting, sadly this is sort of based on reality in my life but I had the courage to walk away, or should I say fly away ~
