Forgiveness
I plant a tree
I help an old man cross the street
I walk with others
who walk in the park
heads down, heads up
smiling, withdrawn
a day in the world
to gather love in the basket
and give away
“universal forgiveness” of what we have
and what we are.
Light awakened me
new shadows were forming
fear with new frames,
island enclosures.
Should I understand “meaning
of unhappiness or happiness”
in dreams or restorative sleep?
You came
after a long winding road,
a lamp of illumination
taking me to direction and calm,
familiar places and thought,
fresh stories
I tried to understand
and find myself
I found you.
