Forgiveness is not a door455Please respect copyright.PENANAWU4umxyekU
we can knock on until it opens.455Please respect copyright.PENANA7c7bzNwOvm
It is a seed that belongs455Please respect copyright.PENANALY6rOmR5Dc
only to the soil of the hurt one’s heart,455Please respect copyright.PENANAFi9Bg1LM98
and sometimes the ground stays barren.
To wound is to scatter glass across a road.455Please respect copyright.PENANApUegzdFNZ1
We do not decide whether another455Please respect copyright.PENANAfXwt4JCql6
will sweep it clear,455Please respect copyright.PENANAEsap2m5a52
or let our memory bleed their footsteps.
But there is something deeper455Please respect copyright.PENANAlDm97CuFJf
than absolution:455Please respect copyright.PENANAw1VQAMMrTW
the courage to carry our own debris.455Please respect copyright.PENANAYGYly8veIu
To mend with hands still scarred,455Please respect copyright.PENANA2YCBDOoVFp
to build not because we are pardoned,455Please respect copyright.PENANApv20hAZIhL
but because the world455Please respect copyright.PENANAYA4KdnMZ1o
still deserves gentleness.
Some wounds will close455Please respect copyright.PENANAMDXgMzB24S
like dusk folding over a quiet field.455Please respect copyright.PENANAwBCA0PnIyW
Some will stay raw,455Please respect copyright.PENANAPb0RmVyIwr
like salt pressed into the sea.455Please respect copyright.PENANAZCugvjrsV3
We cannot control which.
What we can choose455Please respect copyright.PENANAl0MGRizrCN
is to live as if tomorrow matters,455Please respect copyright.PENANAJkl1xiApZj
to make our weight into something455Please respect copyright.PENANAXU3sdbpIZL
that steadies instead of breaks.
Forgiveness may never come.455Please respect copyright.PENANA35YGU4oIg6
But responsibility—455Please respect copyright.PENANAAo08XH6GqQ
quiet, unglamorous, enduring—455Please respect copyright.PENANAK08mTBIzwx
can still turn us toward the light
