soft swims the silence of forgiveness
in waves of carelessness so deep
as scents of certain ease do drizzle
like strands of chocolate mint

on decorated plates of after-dinner cakes
sliced thin as trust between two foes
in gardens of suspicion, growing
blooms of doubt in petals of hesitation

wrought by shadows misplaced
of clemency's hand distraught
as pardon places its misgivings
in errant noises as stillness reins

binding tight the soft refrains
of hush's calm, all peace retained
