Into Many Lifetimes
In this lifetime the bond is blood
But these wounds go back eons
We hurt at something seemingly small
But the game of pain
Has a Great Fall of Fame
Into many lifetimes
Whether we choose to see what is
Our reality is this moment
Or taste disastrous recipes of loathing
The gift of the present is to forgive
As He forgave us
Into many lifetimes
If your promise was to show me pain
I felt the deep pangs of that sadness
And accept what is
Let’s leave judgment at the doormat
Love requires integrity
Into many lifetimes
I choose forgiveness
For no person is innocent
Like water under the bridge
But when I stare at the water
It doesn’t seem to move
Into many lifetimes
To truly forgive is to allow Being
Release brings evaporation of rooted ego
Forgiveness is the only way
The Truth and the Life
Created with cobblestones of love
Into many lifetimes
I forgive myself for my shortcomings
I release my fears and disappointments
This lopsided backpack of pain is too heavy
I forgot I could put it down!
As I walk the next path
Into many lifetimes
