Forgiveness

Feeling guilt and no punishment feels good enough. What can left the weight?

Forgive Me

She sits in silence
No tears are left
Now searching for balance
Finding no rest

She watches her breath in the coldness
Finding warmth within
Remembering the gift that is greater than her sins
The voices from behind the door
Have forgiveness no more

She kneels in a corner
Feeling like a child
Humbled
She prays once more
And forgiveness opens its arms wide
She can feel the love the promise
And finds a smile deep inside
Those who judge her
Enter to find a room filled with light
Tears in each eye
Because they cannot deny
What is right
Before them
Forgiveness
