Forgiveness
Life felt light,
Once I removed the grudge
That had grown in my heart,
Growing healthily to such an extent
That it had become a carnivorous monster
Ready to gobble myself up in its huge cavity!
Life felt light,
So much that I wondered
If those who despised me
Would smile at me
Or even send out good intentions
Towards me
Being themselves scattered dandelions
Assembled in a bouquet!
Life felt light
When the dark night opened its eyes
To a small but shiny rainbow
Spread all over the expanse of dawn
Allowing us all to be,
That which we were once,
But that which we have forsaken,
So easily, as easily as fools
Fall for the false pleasures of this fake world!
Yes, life felt really light
When I chose to adorn myself
With the shimmer of forgiveness
Inscribed in the folds of my soft soul
It was almost, as if,
I could hear magical mantras on a full moon night
Or even feel the pulses of a tarot card reading
As it harmonizes with the circumstances
Dancing in front of me!
For,
Forgiveness
Is nothing else other than
The ability to understand
That all souls are mere victims
Of their own prescribed fates
And nothing else
Can save them from themselves
Other than their own higher consciousness!
