Reflections

You, the bearer of forgiveness In times where my acidic words Spew from tangles of fear; When I wait the longest nights As far-flung work-hours tear me apart. Beneath our old maple tree Our faces silenced as hardened leaves; Till you guide me past pained moments Into deep roots of reflection Calming my doubts as I relate How abandoned this soul cries for lost hours. And you listened, listened To my psalms of discontent-- While into mirrors of twilight, I slowly begin to understand The worth of all your own torments. Forgiveness Contest
