Forgiveness

On a second glance
hindsight
higher places
better perspectives

I see
how my heart was frozen
locked
buried in snow
mourning it's death
preserving itself
for a new life.

On this new chance
beginning
conscious clean
opportunities open
like buds greeting spring

I melt.

My heart of ice sheds
tears
and listens
to the bird's song of freedom.

I unfold my fists

light enters
I tremble
not because I am scared
but because I remember
who I am

The levee breaks
wall crumbles
water washes
paralyzing venom

I move.

Air flowing
filling color

I return.
I learn.
I return.
I learn.

I forgive.
