Greg Gaul Poet Rhyme

Forgivingest

Hark the neverstill story
of all things great and small!
And then the everwhilst glory
told 'n conjured to us all.

Heaped in mankind's sins
through the sages for the ages
the angel's rescue then begins
for centuries the battle rages.

Priests 'n poets, writers tell
the wisdoms that fall on pages
secrets not learned so well
the brave fight for courageous.

The simplest words that ring true
do evade our glance and gaze
it's what we always knew
that wins forever praise.

In one moment that we live
for all our foes we've found
if we just once could forgive
eternal peace is ours profound.

Unseeking Seeker July 20, 2022 at 1:02 AM Beautifully written, Greg! My view on forgiveness is different but I do recognise what you’ve said as a great self-healing tool, as long as we are centred in lower mind. Congrats on your win! Greg Gaul July 22, 2022 at 6:21 AM Your opinions and thoughts are most welcome. Prompts for future verses. Thank you so much.

Paula Goldsmith July 18, 2022 at 8:32 AM Congratulations on your win. A "Wonderful" write. I love your line, "if we just once could forgive." I forgive and then let God handle it. Have a blessed day....................... Greg Gaul July 22, 2022 at 6:22 AM Bless you Paula.

Paul Marc April 13, 2020 at 8:47 AM A great message Greg ~ congratulations on your win! Greg Gaul April 13, 2020 at 9:25 AM Thanks so much. I know from your writing that mindfulness is no stranger. My teacher once said forgiveness is the most important thing in the universe.

Connie Marcum Wong April 29, 2019 at 4:40 PM If people could only understand that forgiveness helps them the most! If you think about it that way it is not so hard to forgive when it is helping yourself. The message in your poem shines brightly and beautifully Greg. Bravo! : ) xxoo Greg Gaul April 29, 2019 at 5:46 PM Looking at your bio Connie, I see the Eastern thought influence. It shows in your work also. My Buddhist teacher said that forgiveness is the most powerful thing in the universe. Thanks for your comment and I appreciate your kindness.
