Forgiveness
light a candle in a steel chamber,
press back the hardened touch.
learn to forgive.
impartation of light and favor to
the the heavy blackened yoke..
i healed some by the wayside
and kept on walking, i moved
along in a single breath.
brightened days lengthen the cords
and renew the sinews between
the nerves and there is healing
when i learn to forget.
old time blessed assurance,
redemption between two stretched
out palms, no safer place to be..
