In this lifetime the bond is blood But these wounds go back eons We hurt at something seemingly small But the game of pain Has a Great Fall of Fame Into many lifetimes Whether we choose to see what is Our reality is this moment Or taste disastrous recipes of loathing The gift of the present is to forgive As He forgave us Into many lifetimes If your promise was to show me pain I felt the deep pangs of that sadness And accept what is Let’s leave judgment at the doormat Love requires integrity Into many lifetimes I choose forgiveness For no person is innocent Like water under the bridge But when I stare at the water It doesn’t seem to move Into many lifetimes To truly forgive is to allow Being Release brings evaporation of rooted ego Forgiveness is the only way The Truth and the Life Created with cobblestones of love Into many lifetimes I forgive myself for my shortcomings I release my fears and disappointments This lopsided backpack of pain is too heavy I forgot I could put it down! As I walk the next path Into many lifetimes
