Forgiveness is not a door455Please respect copyright.PENANA3cAgqqM1hP
we can knock on until it opens.455Please respect copyright.PENANA3mF0IJmH58
It is a seed that belongs455Please respect copyright.PENANAoHar6cm8w9
only to the soil of the hurt one’s heart,455Please respect copyright.PENANAot5apjyKsw
and sometimes the ground stays barren.
To wound is to scatter glass across a road.455Please respect copyright.PENANAFhNn6cRmIH
We do not decide whether another455Please respect copyright.PENANANlsDlCS5eu
will sweep it clear,455Please respect copyright.PENANA7xomBM40nG
or let our memory bleed their footsteps.
But there is something deeper455Please respect copyright.PENANAqsBVoG7KJ1
than absolution:455Please respect copyright.PENANAljRkNCNtJH
the courage to carry our own debris.455Please respect copyright.PENANA9EkhYgp0cy
To mend with hands still scarred,455Please respect copyright.PENANA6ViQJi2tur
to build not because we are pardoned,455Please respect copyright.PENANAN6tceLgOem
but because the world455Please respect copyright.PENANAa09rJaQvl5
still deserves gentleness.
Some wounds will close455Please respect copyright.PENANA9U9ASh5ZMF
like dusk folding over a quiet field.455Please respect copyright.PENANAaj5R5K3tpk
Some will stay raw,455Please respect copyright.PENANAGnENOnOYHs
like salt pressed into the sea.455Please respect copyright.PENANAiwO3Y7Bkrx
We cannot control which.
What we can choose455Please respect copyright.PENANAwjVEBYicT4
is to live as if tomorrow matters,455Please respect copyright.PENANA0FhRtpbvG0
to make our weight into something455Please respect copyright.PENANAzToBgNSIdW
that steadies instead of breaks.
Forgiveness may never come.455Please respect copyright.PENANAp9aywYLyBd
But responsibility—455Please respect copyright.PENANAQBgwfDUsbR
quiet, unglamorous, enduring—455Please respect copyright.PENANAIBwGnFY5LN
can still turn us toward the light
