The Mystery of Forgiveness

by Phronesus Disegno
 Age Group: Adult

The mystery of forgiveness, That at least for me is true, Is so complex, yet simple To be solved without a clue
Is it power over another Who now sings me a sorrowful song, Or a chance to take revenge On the one who did me wrong?
Is it knowing I played some part, That I'm willing to take some blame? Yes, what if the one at fault And the victim are one and the same?
Is it salvaging those relations Among we who tried to dance, Is it trust that things will change If I grant just one more chance?
Is it based on the wisdom earned When the truth becomes askew, Whether once- or never-again, That determines what I should do?
Is it reason enough to forget When you promise to become adept, Or an insincere request That your actions be side-stepped?
Is it recognition of changes That have come from deep within, Or just half-hearted desperate pleas That allow a weasel back in?
It's time for self-reflection And a time I shall renew; So complex, and yet so simple But perhaps one thing is true...
The mystery of forgiveness To be solved with just one clue, Just this once it's all about me And the right thing for me to do.
 Author's Notes: Written by me over a year ago, but just now posted here. It's amazing what happens to poetry that I once stuffed in a notebook and then forgot I had the notebook until I did some house-cleaning. :-)
