Forgiveness

· Steve Robison

To know you have wronged me
To understand I have been hurt
There is found the clarity
That leads to the opportunity
To forgive

Embracing all that was
Which led to all that is
Opens perception's door
To the fullness
Of perfection
 
Unalterable, unadulterable, unassailable
The past is solid diamond
All that can be changed
Is perception
My perception

In an altered perception
That the harms were for my good
There is found the seed
Of forgiveness
My forgiveness

Embracing what was
Pure, divine, perfecting
I walk through the golden gates
Of peace
My peace
