Forgive

You ask me if I hurt,

Not in the painful sense!

You ask me if I feel,

Yes in the literal sense!

You ask me if I cry,

Always in the emotional sense!

You ask me if I love, 

Yes with every sense!

There is no time but this,

There is no hurt but this,

There is no love but this!

Do I live in the moment?

I do, in every moment

Do I cry with every hurt?

I am numbed to the tears.

Do I feel every word?

I hear, I do!

Must it be this way?

It must, to heal.

Must we bear the pain?

We must, to endure.

Must we live these emotions?

As the clouds with the rain.

Where are the joys?

They are everywhere.

Unlock your heart,

Untie the knots,

Undo the past,

Live in peace,

Forgive!
