Forgiveness Is a Dance
Forgiveness feels like a lonely dance
What to do when drama’s veils go down
Hands must be dropped in repentance
To be free, only I can slip off this gown
Unforgiven I acted as an unimpeachable
I wore out the hands of others justified
Without palms, forgiveness is reachable
Empty scarlet letters is tossed aside
Forgiveness grants a place uninhabited
Two steps back, the next step is always new
By the grace of God I’m deemed talented
He turns the fullness of shame into dew
Forgiveness is a seed receiving the light
I resist trusting soil, water, and sun
The empty space above is where it’s right
Hiding dormant, nowhere for me to outrun
Forgiveness feels rawer than useless raging
No more a martyr's dance, just pure suffering
***
Luke 23:34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots
