Forgiveness is not a door453Please respect copyright.PENANAXThG5XDjiZ
we can knock on until it opens.453Please respect copyright.PENANAiRPkfYHTPi
It is a seed that belongs453Please respect copyright.PENANASahd54dnd5
only to the soil of the hurt one’s heart,453Please respect copyright.PENANAWcdJ9PUqDX
and sometimes the ground stays barren.
To wound is to scatter glass across a road.453Please respect copyright.PENANAk8eO7u4HIM
We do not decide whether another453Please respect copyright.PENANAf6KWnto08C
will sweep it clear,453Please respect copyright.PENANAPGOw4G5XdY
or let our memory bleed their footsteps.
But there is something deeper453Please respect copyright.PENANAq6njbCBKsS
than absolution:453Please respect copyright.PENANAHfgfpRLdF7
the courage to carry our own debris.453Please respect copyright.PENANAFXav9rFWgA
To mend with hands still scarred,453Please respect copyright.PENANAVKFH6Rg3wG
to build not because we are pardoned,453Please respect copyright.PENANAC3PISu6FOR
but because the world453Please respect copyright.PENANAMPvSFBjGiP
still deserves gentleness.
Some wounds will close453Please respect copyright.PENANAPZYRWxpuL7
like dusk folding over a quiet field.453Please respect copyright.PENANAWo9g4CBjDZ
Some will stay raw,453Please respect copyright.PENANA9FRMJmquqN
like salt pressed into the sea.453Please respect copyright.PENANAfNBTFilogN
We cannot control which.
What we can choose453Please respect copyright.PENANAWsNH5vqesN
is to live as if tomorrow matters,453Please respect copyright.PENANAJOTMgq9ach
to make our weight into something453Please respect copyright.PENANA4pF47uP2ir
that steadies instead of breaks.
Forgiveness may never come.453Please respect copyright.PENANAyGR9ktiMF2
But responsibility—453Please respect copyright.PENANAEUCYExRsi8
quiet, unglamorous, enduring—453Please respect copyright.PENANAyVBU9tGTOY
can still turn us toward the light
