Forgiveness is not a door452Please respect copyright.PENANAfIxWThn9h4
we can knock on until it opens.452Please respect copyright.PENANAyUZ5mwYw9t
It is a seed that belongs452Please respect copyright.PENANA3nvrMx98at
only to the soil of the hurt one’s heart,452Please respect copyright.PENANA2GG8Vpjtnw
and sometimes the ground stays barren.
To wound is to scatter glass across a road.452Please respect copyright.PENANAsDYNR8lBMh
We do not decide whether another452Please respect copyright.PENANAuTyNG2MjkX
will sweep it clear,452Please respect copyright.PENANAslNE0lucnp
or let our memory bleed their footsteps.
But there is something deeper452Please respect copyright.PENANAeE09yqCKj4
than absolution:452Please respect copyright.PENANAMfoqBHPbph
the courage to carry our own debris.452Please respect copyright.PENANAQEBuw2t9N0
To mend with hands still scarred,452Please respect copyright.PENANAecBunc30RT
to build not because we are pardoned,452Please respect copyright.PENANA3CV0n8mREz
but because the world452Please respect copyright.PENANA4nkVLKr3G3
still deserves gentleness.
Some wounds will close452Please respect copyright.PENANAJICzHpnxUP
like dusk folding over a quiet field.452Please respect copyright.PENANAqBlyiEYDah
Some will stay raw,452Please respect copyright.PENANAa2AnwaBJWn
like salt pressed into the sea.452Please respect copyright.PENANAx2CSDBXB9x
We cannot control which.
What we can choose452Please respect copyright.PENANAlBkAX4FQzZ
is to live as if tomorrow matters,452Please respect copyright.PENANAbwXQU4WvJ1
to make our weight into something452Please respect copyright.PENANAVIQIAL2fm1
that steadies instead of breaks.
Forgiveness may never come.452Please respect copyright.PENANAUzNmwTeWCm
But responsibility—452Please respect copyright.PENANAerbDcjBTpg
quiet, unglamorous, enduring—452Please respect copyright.PENANAJicXamNrrm
can still turn us toward the light
