Notes About The Poem

'I'm Sorry'

two simple words 
with such healing power

fragile things 
broken 
suddenly super-glued
hurt feelings 
melt away

a phrase 
that sows the seed
 of forgiveness
a seed 
that sprouts
unwatered

simple, yet... 
flips hurt downside up

magical 
what sincere contrition does 
to the mind and spirit.
liberating...

a soothing balm 
doctors the aches 
massages away pain
lingering 
deep within.
