Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 65. Forgiveness Walking
I'm grateful to @AC Benus for making this a much better poem. However, all errors and gaffes are mine alone.
Does forgiveness walk with you,
with feet that slide in fresh-fallen snow
and break through ice covered puddles,
shattering their panes
to open muddy secrets to the high, blue sky?
Can you feel reconciliation's breath upon your neck
to chill and warm simultaneously
as whispered lips tease your cheek
and murmured syllables caress the ear?
Will you recall clemency's glance,
and forget that place you hid away your ruby-faceted anger
secured in black velvet,
for safekeeping?
Pardon’s voice may hum swing tunes at work
and mercy's eyes crinkle at the corners,
smiling in stained-glass sunlight
to splash across the melting snow.
I welcome any comment you might want to make. Rants and gripes are okay too.
