I have found retribution
in a most unlikely place
by laying my pain within
the soft, billowy folds
of forgiveness
I have found retribution.

Who wuld have thought that
terror could be conquered here?
In this place of light, airy peace?
How could I have known
that my pain would fly away
on the wings of the soaring bird
called forgiveness?

I have found retribution
in a forest of hate
by simply drinking from the
fountain of forgiveness
my soul is filled with peace.
This is my retribution.
It seems you have lost afterall.

Childomine,

I wish I could erase the pain behind these words, but the peace you find should heal the wounds and renew the soul.  Beautiful!

Childomine, this is beautiful!  I am going to print it out and keep it. You just say it so eloquently. Thank you my friend, it was nice hearing from you.

I thought you might like this one SeptSong.  I'm glad you liked it.  It was a pleasure to have heard from you and a pleasure to write back.
Thank you both for the compliments.  I sometimes wonder if perhaps I'm posting far too often.
Take care.
Kim (childomine)

lovely poem. janet marie

 She says baby,
It's 3am I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.
Matchbox20

I love you baby... always.*
