pale moon

forgiveness

brought us to this place

let it be heard

i rage against the torrent

the tidal waves

that we created across the sky

the horizon shines

speak truths

yet in my imploring i play the game

of old

so i say to my own heart

let go

let go of the need to conquer

the need to wield power to suit my own ends

the need to make perfection

from chaos

let go of the yearning

the tug of the heart towards pain

let go of sorrow

let it sail towards

the pale moon

and beyond

so forgiveness comes for ourselves

firstly

then extends with openess to others

there is no other way to forgive
