Unforgiveness

As the empathic moon pales of lustre of life, and the downcast stars fall in the hour of lamentation, unforgiveness has its own realm of misery. Our anger and resentment strickens our lives, smothers our love, our joy. Still absent from one another, we grow grayer into white. The evefall speaks of barren and abandoned dreams, of reunions that could of been, of words unsaid that could of professed a healing pardon. The unforgiveness borne on a catafalque, yet, not unburdened, and still unburied. ~

This one is really deep, dear Regina.. forgiveness is an interesting thing, sadly it is influenced by bias and being brainwashed, especially when those who follow a religion, but cannot follow what the beliefs are.. pride is also a factor... you expressed this one really well. Love the word choices.

Excuse my spelling. Oy! Visual Problems…will correct after this comment. You and I grieve. We see the calls for genocide worldwide . We cannot join the IDF but be supporters of Israel in word and deed. Might I suggest you write a poem avout the MDA?Many dont know what that means. There was a shooting at a synagogue ! This must stop! Pangie xx
