The Field Of Forgiveness

The field 
of forgiveness 
accepts 
seeds of regret 

to merge 
with seeds of hurt
hoping
to bloom new starts

The pain 
of wrongs that stab
heals with 
the words "I'm sorry" 

The angst
felt by offenders
grows calm
with "you're forgiven" 

So mend
the fractured hearts
in life's
field of forgiveness
