Let it go ...

If I forgive, can I forgive myself?

If I let go of all these pent up hates,

These nasty thoughts, these wishes to expunge

The other who dares to contradict myself,

Will I find relief turns into peace

And all the tensions of an argument

Long since forgotten fade in cinsequence

As face-off dwindles down to acceptance?

You smile as if it's easy to let go

After I have fought to keep control

Of all this seething separation, this

Deep division with its silent void.

            Yes, overhead, wings outstretched, a dove

            Convinces me I'm sheltered by your love.
