Notes About The Poem

The Beauty of Our Forgiveness

Some things are so beautiful 
they cannot be restrained

that bold and glorious fish 
that fought the good fight 

must be freed out of respect
that butterfly that could be caught 

but ought to be forgiven 
for its beauty

the bold and the magnificent 
caught within the scope 

of one most perfect shot 
cannot be taken 

must be released 
so that beauty can endure 

some things are so beautiful;  
Some things are so pure.
