Forgiveness Poems | Examples of Forgiveness Poetry

In the silence, I hear my own voice A whispered longing, a heart that makes some noise I reach for connection, a gentle touch But find instead a space that's too much The weight of unspoken words, a heaviness I bear A sense of longing that I've learned to share With every step, I search for a place to stand A sense...

Don’t wait for a trumpet when the breath in your lungs is already shouting. Don’t wait for a sky to tear when your soul is already trembling. The signs are not in the clouds, they’re in your compromise. The delay is not His it’s yours. You think you’ve got time? You think your youth is a shield? You gamble eternity on...

May you remember the sail ship white wake behind, seabirds about When the bedrock begins to slip When life's purpose is in doubt May you remember every friend When enemies abound When only on few can you depend And harshness is the only sound. **(Chorus)** May the mountains come in waves That lift you up from under. like desert rain that saves. Like a cavalry's thunder. When...

Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (fiction like a chocolate chip cookie - with morsels of truth) he left my mother, when I was just a child she was left broken, with fearless abandon lessons came...

I grew a rose from cuttings pinched from a loved one's plot, watered at ground-level, not at the top. Dung and mulch kept well away, from stems lest their collars rot. In time, it grew buds that blossomed into flowers, a bounteous bouquet, with bursts of red petals, blood bled. It started with a sprinkle like from a watering can, but grew. into...

I stood in front of the mirror As naked as could be The goal was to make an estimation of me I saw eyes That overlooked truth for lies In order to prepare a drink For lips That greedily sipped To strengthen breasts That harbored contention To energize feet That blindly followed the path of dissension I stood in the front of the mirror After scrubbing vigorously The goal...

The Coca-Cola lamp made a circle of light on the nightstand— (soft and amber) barely touching the horses beneath it. You lifted the needle up gently, and set it down lightly again: “Bye, bye, Miss American Pie…” We didn’t say goodbye. Not really. Not the kind that...

I thought for so long you were my good friend, trusted you with a faithful mind without any doubt, but in the difficult times I didn’t find you by my side, saw instead the mask you wore fall discarded in debris. Your senses became the fast spreading wild fire of hatred, uncontrolled, it smoldered the motif of your intrinsic...

the breath of forgiveness . some say the music still plays in the empty doorway, shaded with time past an eternity of yesterdays and melodic songs with words that rhyme . only in silence can you hope to hear the forgotten songs that used to play while harshly made noises of a foregone year chase the...

O! Same place, same time morning chill and cracks of sun curled in dark doorway her shape, her pulse same line Same doorway she calls her home ‘tween supplements west and bath bombs east colours waft and mingle, stenches wrap early morning baking under all Breathing rasping cocoon of red cloth silent breaths thru curved teeth flicking thoughts, cloudlike slip ear to ear passing dreams, rapid cut,...

They came to take us To pay for our sins And I waited And waited But they never came So I thought Why did the angels forgive me And I can't...

Discovering Light Cry Ugly shame lost its power Shame was regret… Buying into malicious judgment I wasn't good enough… He knew I was more than good enough… I gave all I was capable of… He loved me because I gave 100%… even when my 100% fell short He channeled his disappointment and hope through his poetry. Discovery emerged...

Would that I could consider this departure A pleasure trip to lands with beautiful sights. Traveling for betterment of mind and spirit A place you go…and come back you might. I wish I could imagine you will answer each letter that I write, or pick up the phone when I dial, making your absence lose its...

I pried with a screw-driver driven into a lid sealed with age, and rust, to crack open a callous retribution, set aside, tombed over. I was curious to learn how much remained and in what condition. Up came the lid with a gurgle, fizz, hiss, expelled with age smell. The paint on top, had dried, to a skin, a...

Hindsight is twenty-twenty, We imperturbably say. But what is insightful vision, When life is looking the opposite way? Would words of wisdom Record a different story If life could be lived in reverse? Returning to familiar territory, Undoing the “What’s done is done” ancient curse? Receiving before it is given, Understanding pain, From where and why it came, With the warmth of forgiveness Preceding the cold, hard rain. There...
