Notes About The Poem

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.

Congratulations on your placement in Carol's contest. :) Charlie Constance La France May 1, 2019 at 8:30 AM Charles, that you for the awesome and the congratulations, I have found that if you do not forgive your enemies or those who have hurt you, it becomes like a scar on your soul, to hold your hurt is to hurt yourself !

Caren Krutsinger March 21, 2019 at 3:11 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. Constance La France March 23, 2019 at 7:29 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 ~
