    Sands of Forgiveness

listen to the
winds blow
telling all the secrets
it knows
about the grains of sand
under feet
laughing
as beach and water
meet
washed in forgiveness
of the past
from depths of water
oh so vast
a new sin
washes ashore
of the same
it is now your turn
to forgive
the blame

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)  Shakespeare

forgiveness and blame..to me two words that cause so much pain...when needed.
Well written as always in your style

The sands of time hold both the scares of blame and the ointments of forgiveness. The wind carries the air of peace and the words, reflections of povity, guilt,properity; the goods and bads of the world around us.

I really enjoyed your peice, I felt its, your passion and deep thoughts.

Well done, hope to read more.

Nice verse with nice thoughts. We must all forgive ... most importantly we must forgive ourselves.
Isn't it a wonderful feeling when we have washed that burden away?

Where would we be without forgiveness?
A wonderful tool.
