Fountain of Forgiveness
In your blazing blood-shot eyes I see
You smolder inside in engulfing anger
The twisted tongue spitting out words
Charged with toxin of the vitriolic mind.
The receptacle of sane sense turns into
Embers erupting out from the wild fire
Shrouded in the spreading smoke of spite
The rays of reason you don’t recognize.
I don’t run away from you to self-heal
Or seek shelter in the den of disregard
Nor do I ignite another flame within me
To face you to feel good in retaliation.
As a fire can’t ever extinguish or contain
Another fire for they burn the linked space
I confront you with composed confidence
The sanctum of my soul you can’t incinerate.
Flow of forgiveness emanates from within
As the embracing nectar of divine fountain
Empathy drenches you in the cool shower
With the touch of absolution dousing the fire.
In the core of the transformed essence
You feel benign breeze of calmness blow
From the settling ashes of repentance
You rise rejuvenated to become much wiser.
