The Art of Forgiveness

We can forgive the little things
like loss of keys, or files, or tools.
We forgive the loss of names or directions
which makes us look like bumbling fools.
We forgive the habit lapse
which sets us back when trying to change.
We forgive the childish prank
and gently, another style arrange.
 
But it takes deep insightful work
to forgive the enemy, we define.
Because we choose to see the wrong
and blind ourselves to what is fine.
Art reflects nature’s process
accepting change as usual form.
Learn to build from basic wholeness
so FORGIVENESS shapes the human form.

(1994)
